Not Another Bomb: Solidarity Action with Gaza

As political decision-makers start gathering for the Democratic National Convention on August 19th, the people of Los Angeles are coming together to send a message to the political establishment: Not Another Bomb!
To achieve a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, the U.S. must stop arming Israel’s brutal war and occupation of Gaza by enacting an immediate arms embargo.
Join us on Sunday, August 18th at 10am, for a mass rally at LA City Hall to make our voices heard loud and clear. Not Another Bomb! Arms Embargo Now! Ceasefire Now!

We continue to pressure LA City Councilmembers to support a ceasefire resolution. And we need your help! On Tuesday, August 13th, from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, we will flood councilmembers’ phones by calling constituents of their district, asking them to call her office. Phone zapping is very easy, and someone will be there to guide you if you’ve never done it before.

Canvass for our Candidates!

Karla Griego for LAUSD School Board
Karla is a parent, teacher, and activist who has been working and organizing at school sites, on picket lines, in town halls, and in the community to bring all of us together to win the schools that Los Angeles deserves. Get involved with our movement and come out and canvass with us!
Ysabel Jurado for LA City Council District 14
It’s finally here folks, the general election is in full swing. During the primary DSA-LA knocked on over 8000 doors in Eagle Rock. Thanks to our members, Ysabel Jurado was able to clinch a first place win in the primary. Now it’s time to get her over the finish line!
Jillian Burgos for LA City Council District 2
Jillian Burgos is a true grassroots socialist, serving her community as a NoHo neighborhood councilmember, housing and homelessness advocate, and essential healthcare worker. Frequently spotted on the picket lines with DSA-LA, Jillian is keenly aware of just how powerful our presence is. As an Afro-Latina from a working-class background, Burgos was CD-2's biggest underdog, and the results of targeted canvassing blew us away in the primary. Out raised up to 12X by our opponents, she enlisted the help of volunteers in her community to knock on doors and spread hope for change in the Valley. Now, our people-powered candidate needs YOU to secure her seat at LA City Council. It's time to end the status quo politics that have plagued the valley for decades and fight for real change.

Are you new or newly returning to DSA? To Los Angeles? To the Left? Then join us for DSA 101!
At this orientation, we’ll talk about what capitalism is, how it functions, and why socialism is ideologically opposed to it. Participants will also learn about the history of our organization and our chapter in particular, the current projects we’re working on, and how you can get involved. This is not a lecture, but a meeting for new and veteran organizers to ground ourselves in socialist theory and discuss together how we can put it into action. We’re excited to chat with you!
All are welcome! We’ll meet in the UTLA Building in Koreatown (3303 Wilshire Blvd), room TBD. This location is accessible by public transit, though you can also park in the building and we will validate your ticket.
