Friends --
We will be having our
May General Meeting this Saturday, May 2, 10am-noon via Zoom. Members and visitors are welcome
as always. You
must register for the meeting here.
After registering, you will receive
a confirmation email with information about joining the
meeting.
Frontline Workers vs. COVID Celebrate the morning after May Day with Detroit DSA’s frontline
workers panel. Hear from nurses who demanded PPE, Detroit bus drivers
who struck for their safety, autoworkers fired for whistleblowing and more.
Chapter Endorsements We will be voting as a chapter on an endorsement for
Representative Rashida Tlaib. She joined us for a virtual Town Hall last month to answer questions from
members.
We will also vote on whether to
endorse Abraham Aiyash for the late State Representative Isaac
Robinson’s seat (Michigan House District 4).
Tlaib and Aiyash have both been
recommended for endorsement by the Electoral and Steering Committees.
There will be opportunity for discussion at Saturday’s meeting. Only
dues-paying members of Detroit DSA will be eligible to
vote.
We look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday morning!
