Red May Heating Up! Canvass for Immigrant Justice, Pressure Chevron, Crawfish Boil
|
Howdy!
As May heats up, stay cool and kick back with the latest edition of your Houston DSA newsletter. Great work to all who mobilized for our May Day action at City Hall, canvassed for immigrant justice at Bayland Park, and came together to learn about Malcolm X at CLASS Bookstore as well as welcomed Nafis Hasan, author of "Metastasis", at Basket Books.
Coming up in the second half of the month, we are ramping up our Demand Immigrant Justice campaign, welcoming new and prospective members at our Houston DSA Orientation, and discussing revolutionary leaders, feminism, and union organizing. We'll wrap up Red May with our Crawfish Boil to fundraise for our elected delegates to attend the 2025 National Convention in August to chart the path forward for DSA.

Canvass to demand the City of Houston protect the rights of immigrant Houstonians
|
ICE is bragging about their attack on immigrant communities in Houston and our City is going above and beyond to support Trump's agenda. On May Day, we launched our demands. Now, we are asking working class people to join the fight.
Our campaign will be leading three canvasses across Houston: the Heights, East End, and Sharpstown areas. We'll inform all Houstonians about their rights and ask them to get involved in the work. You'll join an experienced canvasser.
