Friends and Comrades - Thank you to everyone who wrote letters and spoke at City Council against spending public money to further militarize the Santa Fe police. Sadly, only two Councilors(Castro and Lindell) voted against this poor use of public money. This only furthers our firm belief that, for the working class to thrive in Santa Fe, we must keep pushing against the neoliberal status quo here. We'll be continuing this work at our General Meeting this Sunday. Read on for more details:

Please join us for this important monthly meeting! Along with hearing from and voting for candidates for At-Large Organizer(see more below,) we will focus on housing and coalition building.

?

The chapter will consider a resolution by Nikhil to establish a Housing Working Group. You can read the text of the resolution here.

?

We will also be working on some power mapping to think about how to build our local strength and influence, especially as it relates to housing issues.

?

Please join us at 2pm on Sunday, at Earthcare(6600 Valentine Way) for this meeting!

Join us on Friday, September 13, at 6pm for a concert benefitting Alianza Tenent Union! The concert will take place at Our Lady of Light Community Center?in Lamy. If you've never been,? this is a wonderful space to hear music!

?

Join us for a night of classical show pieces and Spanish labor folk songs. More details in the upcoming weeks!

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].

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.
