After passing temporary tenant protections during the pandemic lockdown (and having now let them expire), many city council members feel like they have done enough for tenants in Los Angeles. They’re feeling “tenant fatigue” and don’t feel pressured to do anything to actually solve our housing crisis.

This Saturday, DSA-LA, along with the Keep LA Housed and Fix LA coalitions and many union partners, will be turning up the heat on city council during the Tenant-Worker March and we need strong turnout to demonstrate tenant power.

Friday, September 27 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Join DSA-LA’s Team Jillian for a festive night of community building, delicious tacos, and Lotería!

​Jillian Burgos will join us for a fundraiser and fiesta in celebration of CD-2’s vibrant Latine population.

Loter​ía cards have been hand designed by local artists and will be sold for $5+ OR 5 postcards per round. Your $5+ donations will multiply 6x and your postcards will be delivered to neighbors all over CD-2. Look at you- winning already! (but yes, there will definitely be prizes)

Tacos, snacks, and soft drinks will be provided, but we’d never turn down a potluck dessert! BYOB.

Karla Griego for LAUSD School Board

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.

• Sunday, September 29 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

We're looking for artists, illustators, designers, copywriters, photographers, and more to help volunteer and organize with local projects. Everyone can build the movement, and you can help make it beautiful! 

Let us know about your creative talents! The Communications Committee will be in touch soon.

Ceasefire Phone Zap: Tuesday, September 24 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Postcards for Ceasefire Resolution: Friday, September 27 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Come join us for postcarding at Boomtown Brewery! We’re writing to DSA-LA comrades to encourage them to contact their Los Angeles city councilmember in support of a Ceasefire Resolution.

Tuesday, September 24 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Curious about how to navigate conversations on a phonebank, or need to brush up on your skills?

RSVP for zoom link.

Thursday, September 26 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

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!
