Good afternoon!
We have an update on last month's proposed and subsequently endorsed resolution, "Resolution: For an Anti-Zionist Chattanooga DSA in both Principle and Praxis". Click here to read the resolution.
Below is a brief summary of the update, with details explaining the endorsement and voting process after this summary.
Membership endorsed this resolution during the October 2024 General Meeting (minutes here). It modify current bylaws by adding requirements to candidacy endorsement and further speficying the existing definition of organizational misalignment for members. As a result of these possible bylaw modifications, the resolution is subject to two subsequent votes in General Meetings as described in Article XII of our Chattanooga DSA bylaws (linked here).
With endorsement established, the resolution will move into the voting process starting with our November 21 general meeting.
This is the summary of the update - Please feel free to read further for more details!

The resolution was endorsed by 6 members within the general meeting followed by 3 members online in the given online endorsement time period. It was formally submitted to Steering Committee on October 21.
These bylaw modifications, described within the resolution, will be brought to a vote:
- As described in the resolution, incorporate anti-Zionist stipulations into any process of candidacy endorsement
Endorsement by membership is not an automatic bylaw modification - instead, the resolution now moves into two rounds of voting. Voting will follow majority decision-making (consensus if possible) per our own bylaws and Robert’s Rules of Order, Newly Revised. Voting is limited to those with official Chattanooga DSA membership -- this is whoever pays dues to DSA (or has a waiver in lieu of dues).
