Friends and Comrades - We had a wonderful General Meeting yesterday, where we had a chance to hear updates on labor, mutual aid, and our chapter budget. We then had an opportunity to share our thoughts on how the chapter should handle the upcoming General Election. This week, we've got action on housing, green spaces, and are looking for some good members to run for At-Large Organizer positions on our Organizing committee. Read on for details!

This Wednesday night, the City Council will be considering a bill that would ban housing discrimination based on "source-of-income" and sex. This is an important bill, as it will prohibit landlords from denying people? the chance to rent based on whether they receive housing vouchers.

?

If you are able, please attend this meeting to voice your support for this bill, either in person(200 Lincoln Ave.) or over Zoom(link here.)?

Do you know a DSA? member in good standing(including yourself!) who is ready to step into a leadership position? Nominate them as an At- Large Organizer!

?

At our August General Meeting, we will have the chance to elect 4 At-Large Organizer positions for 6 month terms. At-Large Organizers are voting members of our Organizing Committee and have the opportunity to pursue organizing goals that interest them.??

?

If you would like to nominate someone(again, including yourself!) as an At-Large Organizer, please contact our Secretary, Todd. He can be reached at 505-469-1794 or at [email protected].

Join Councilor Alma Castro on July 30th at the Santa Fe Convention Center at 3:30 for a community conversation about urban forests, shared green space, and the benefits of walkable cities!

Join Santa Fe DSA member Sam Hitt for another forest hike this Sunday morning. Meet at 9:00am at the?PERA parking lot?next to Kakawa Chocolate to car pool. See destructive tree cutting along Ski Basin road. This will be a short hike with some steep downhill. Back by noon. Bring water and rain gear. Questions? Call Sam at 505-577-2944.

DSA depends on support from ordinary members, rather than corporate funding or grants. As we ramp up our campaigns to take on the millionaire and billionaire class in New Mexico, any donations you can provide will go a long way.
