Friends and Comrades-

Apologies for the early email, but there are important events happening today! Please read on to learn more about them, as well as housing legislation, our chapter social, and upcoming chapter elections.

Join the Santa Fe Dreamer's Project, New Mexico Immigrant Law Center, and other allied organizations Today, 2/3, at 8am for Immigrant and Worker's Day of Action at the State Capitol! We are all in this together when it comes to countering the threat of ICE and attacks on workers and we can take action this legislative session!?

You can continue connecting with other New Mexicans concerned with protecting their neighbors on this this exciting day with City Councilor Alma Castro at the Cafe Y Democracia Legislative Reception! It will take place at 9am at Torogoz Restaurant.

This week, we're highlighting two important housing bills in the legislature: SB 216, which would repeal New Mexico's current ban on local municipalities enacting rent control, and HB 61, which would extend unfair business practice protection to housing.

?

We all know that working New Mexican need affordable and safe places to live! Please track these two bills and call your representatives to ask them to support them!

Join us this Saturday for our monthly chapter social. We'll be at Nuckolls Brewing on the Railyard at 5pm for some imbibing, camaraderie, and discussion!

Are you looking to beef up your organizing skills and support out chapter's continuing efforts for Santa Fe's working class? Then please consider running in our upcoming chapter elections! These elections will take place at our February General Meeting and we need good, committed people to run!

?

If you are a member in good standing, you can nominate yourself or another member of the chapter to run by emailing our Nomination Committee at [email protected].?

Our friends at Burrito Brigade Mutual Aid have been doing amazing work feeding free breakfast to dozens every Sunday morning, along with distributing sleeping bags and other cold-weather essentials to the unhoused.?

If you'd like to get involved you can contact Burrito Brigade at [email protected]. If you would like to pitch in with resources, you can donate to our mutual aid fund.

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.
