Friends and Comrades- Thank you to everyone who attended and presented at our Post-Election Debrief on Saturday! It was a wonderful chance to examine the 2024 election results and come together in solidarity with an eye towards the challenges and opportunities we face over the next 4 years. We especially appreciate how many new folks we had a chance to meet. Our movement gains strength with every person who recognizes the importance of challenging both the MAGA movement and establishment Democrats!

Lots going on this week. Read on to learn more:

The genocide and starvation in Gaza continues unabated and the US continues to fund these atrocities, including a proposed $20 billion weapons deal. Senators Sander, Welch, and Merkley have introduced six Joint Resolutions of Disapproval(JRD) to to stop this weapons deal from going forward and we need our Senators to vote YES on these resolutions!

You can use this link to email Senators Heinrich and Lujan to demand they do what they can to end the slaughter and starvation in Gaza. You can also use this link to sign a pledge to call their offices to demand they vote YES on the JRD!

Please join us this Sunday, 11/24, at 2pm for our next General Meeting. We will discuss the upcoming legislative session, the City Council, and get updates from our working groups. Light refreshments will be provided.

Our General Meetings take place at Earthcare(6600 Valentine Way.) You can also join the meeting over Zoom here. We hope to see you there!

After the General Meeting, please join our Reading Group as they start Border and Rule by Harsha Walia. In Border and Rule, one of North America’s foremost thinkers and immigrant rights organizers delivers an unflinching examination of migration as a pillar of global governance and gendered racial class formation.

The Reading Group will have their first meeting on this important work on Sunday, November 24th at 4pm at CHOMP Food Hall.

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.
