We stand in solidarity with the uprisings across the country. As we enter into a new, uncharted political moment, we stand firmly in the fights against police violence and oppression. We condemn the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and everyone lost to white supremacy and police brutality. Read our statement on the murders and the fight back.
Looking for a space to process last week's protests, discuss this new moment we’re in, and hear eyewitness reports from Minneapolis? Join us for our June General Membership Meeting tomorrow! We’ll discuss the protests across the country and talk to Robin Wonsley, a DSA comrade in Minneapolis.
We will also hear from Yakima farmworkers on strike and discuss how we can support their struggle! Finally, we’ll prepare to go all out to Tax Amazon—we’ve got just one month to gather enough signatures for the ballot, and it’s all hands on deck. Request the petition or donate at Green New Homes!
We were in the streets protesting this past weekend. We will continue to protest this week. For those who are able to protest during COVID19, please check the members Slack for information and coordination. (Not on Slack yet? Send your welcome email from Maria Svart to [email protected] and we’ll get you plugged in!) You can also donate to bail funds at Northwest Community Bail Fund and BLM-Seattle Freedom Fund.
How Can Socialists Fight for the End of Policing? You are welcome to join other Seattle DSA members at this online event hosted by Austin DSA this Friday! Details and RSVP here.
As always, find all other Seattle DSA events on our calendar.
In solidarity,
Seattle DSA
