Megan Romer will also be hosting a political education and discussion event on Monday, August 5th, from 6:00pm - 8:00pm.

Join us and participate in an active reading session of Marta Harnecker’s "Ideas for the Struggle".

We’ll read it live and discuss as we go, but if you’d like to get a head start, you can view a PDF version HERE or listen to the audiobook, read by Megan Romer herself, HERE.

Share your thoughts on the upcoming Presidential election, down-ballot races, the effects that various outcomes could have on our organizing, and how we can respond.

Independent political power is needed now more than ever.

For months leading up to this announcement, our members have meaningfully contributed to national and local campaigns pressuring Biden to drop out. The media told us for months that Biden would never drop out. We continued to organize our communities regardless of the media narrative. This monumental moment in US history was accomplished through the sustained pressure of independent organizations outside the two-party system. 

‘No Votes for Genocide’ Resolution

Unanimously Passed

The “No Votes for Genocide” resolution which was originally proposed at our June chapter meeting was reconsidered with friendly amendments and unanimously passed at our July chapter meeting. The resolution commits Phoenix DSA to upholding anti-genocide minimum requirements as conditions to endorse federal candidates, facilitating a comprehensive chapter discussion on Palestine, and passing a resolution on the issue of Palestinian Liberation.

No Tech for Genocide
We have officially moved our website hosting from Wix to Squarespace. We appreciate your patience as we build out the new site.

Mutual Aid

Really Really Free Market takes place every 3rd Sunday of the month @ Daley Park in Tempe. Water and cooling clothes are in high demand.

The next RRFM is now August 18th.

Come serve up to 200 people with us every Tuesday @ 5:00pm with the ARIS Foundation.

Community Gardening

If you love collective ownership, cooperation, and equitable distribution of resources, then why not get involved with a local community garden?

Not only do community gardens encourage a sense of shared responsibility and mutual aid, the produce harvested from these gardens give the community a source of fresh nutrition instead of relying on corporations to provide us the food that’s most profitable for them. 

Use Arizona’s Good Food Finder to join local efforts such as the Escalante Community Garden, whose garden produce supplements the TCAA Food Pantry to help bring food security to more than 26,000 people every year.
