Sac DSA Upcoming Events

Sacramento has been awarded $89 million in covid response stimulus funds- this presents an important opportunity at a critical moment in our city! Our chapter has joined with Katie V and several other community groups such as ACCE, Sunrise Movement, and the Sacramento Center Labor Council to call on city council to provide direct and immediate relief to Sacramento residents impacted by the pandemic not the mayors pet projects or debt payments on sports arenas! You can check out the letter delivered to City Council HERE with more information on the specific relief we are advocating for.

Now we need your help! We're asking all members to submit a voicemail or email in support of the letter and direct relief to working class Sacramentans.

You can submit an auto generated message in support of the letter by clicking HERE and filling out the form. Just in the last few days we've had hundreds of community members voice their support with this form!

You can also call the city council voicemail system at (916) 808-5908 and leave a message! You can use the following call script: “I’m calling in to support the recommendations of council member elect, Katie Valenzuela, for the $89 Million in federal stimulus money including direct rent and mortgage payment assistance, infrastructure and support for Safe Ground camping sites, and direct aid to households."

LGBTQ+ Feminist Reading Group

Come read poetry, fiction, theory and more with fellow feminist leftists!

In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month, this month's reading group theme will focus on various aspects of living and coping with mental illness.

The poems and webcomic for this month's readings are meant to provide perspective on mental health journeys, and encourage readers to reflect on their own experiences. Topics may be triggering for some.

Film Screening- "Advocate"

Directed by Rachel Lea Jones, Advocate follows in real time the caseload of Jerusalem attorney Lea Tsemel, including the high-profile trial of a 13-year-old boy – her youngest client to date –while reflecting on the political and professional significance of her work. A Jewish-Israeli woman who has represented political prisoners for nearly 50 years, Tsemel pushes the definition of a human rights defender to its limits.
