🌹 Workers Deserve More! Socialist Slate Kickoff 🌹

Socialist Slate Kickoff Promo Image

In the 2024 elections, working people have few good options. We recognize that a second Trump victory would be catastrophic for the international working class. At the same time, corporate Democratic elites are embracing Trump's racist immigration policies and supporting genocide against the Palestinian people. We must build a working-class movement to fight for a future free from exploitation and oppression.

 

Join us in this Virtual event Wednesday, September 11, 2024 at 7:30 PM for our Workers Deserve More Socialist Slate Kickoff! Meet new comrades, learn about our plan to fight for a better tomorrow, and hear from DSA candidates Gabriel Sanchez and Devin Barrington-Ward about our campaigns!

 

✊ The People Return to City Hall! ✊

Stop Cop City Sept 16th event promo image

On Monday, September 16, we’re calling on the people throughout the Atlanta area to join us at City Council once again to demand that our voices be heard. At any time, the mayor’s office can drop its appeal, or the Council can just pass a resolution to place it on the ballot themselves. We need to make clear that we won’t stand by as they subvert democracy right before our eyes – especially as election season approaches.

 

Meet us at Atlanta City Hall, 55 Trinity Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30303 US.

 

🍽 16th Annual Douglass-Debs Dinner 🍽

Socialist State Weekly Phone Bank

Each year since our Atlanta DSA chapter formed in 2006–except for a two-year pandemic gap–we have invited Atlanta’s progressive community to our Douglass-Debs awards dinner, to help us honor outstanding role models and leaders, celebrate our accomplishments during the previous year, and enjoy an evening of comradeship. Last year’s dinner resumed this tradition with great success, so we plan to come together again on Saturday, September 21st.

 

The dinner is a great opportunity to meet with other community activists and hear from inspiring speakers. Ticket sales and patron contributions will raise funds for our coalition partners, local community organizing, labor union strike support. Reduced-cost tickets will be available for students and other low-income comrades. For more information about event programming, ads in the dinner program, or reserving a table, contact us at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you there!
