Dear comrade,

I am writing to update you about several things related to the Memphis-Midsouth DSA Chapter.

The most timely is:

WORKPLACE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE MEETING

• The first meeting of our chapter's new Workplace Organizing Committee is happening Monday, April 15th at 6pm at RP Tacks. Members and non-members are welcome to attend.

• The purpose of this committee broadly is to support efforts at unionization and worker cooperative formation in the Midsouth region. Our Steering Committee strongly encourages attendance to help shape this work in its early stages.
