Friends and Comrades- On this Indigenous Peoples Day, we urge you to take time to reflect on your own place in the work of decolonization(which is Not a Metaphor!) From Santa Fe to Palestine, Bolivia to Australia, Indigenous people and their allies are working to fight the systemic injustices and generational trauma that colonization and capitalism have wrought. There are celebration on the Plaza today and you can also check out the Indigenous Solidarity Network's website for webinars and other resources in this work.?

?

We also recommend reading Indigenous writers! Here are poems from Joy Harjo, Tanaya Winder, Sherwin Bitsui, and Kinsale Hueston.

We must continue to work on addressing the dire situation many of Santa Fe's unhoused residents face on a daily basis. One area that the city needs to significantly improve is access to mental health services.?

?

Join Councilor Alma Castro for a Town Hall meeting to discuss access points for mental health services in Santa Fe. The meeting will take place on Friday, 10/25, at Consuelo's Place from 5-7pm.?

Our restarted Reading Group will have its first meeting on Sunday, November 3, at 2pm. We will be reading The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels. If you would like to be a part of the Reading Group and have any questions, please email Bradley at [email protected].?

Early voting for the November General Election has started in Santa Fe County. Currently, you can vote at the County Clerk's Office(240 Grant Ave.) Starting on 10/19, the County will open up all its early voting sites. You can see all these locations on the County's website.

?

And don't forget to fill in the oval next to chapter-endorsed Adam Fulton Johnson's name for County Commissioner in District 4!

If you have a resolution you'd like our membership to consider for our next General Meeting, please email [email protected] by this coming Sunday, October 20.

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.
