The DSA-LA stands in unwavering solidarity with our comrade from Progressive International and native Angeleno David Adler, as well as fellow Californians Windfield Moon Beaver and Thomas Marcus, members of the Global Sumud Flotilla who have been released from Israeli detention today. After witnessing established channels of international aid fail to reach Gazans, Adler, Beaver and Marcus set sail on the Global Sumud Flotilla to establish a humanitarian corridor by sea where they, and about 450 participants, were illegally arrested and detained by Israel for bringing life saving food and medical supplies within 70 miles of Gaza’s shore. This flotilla was a much-needed challenge to a regime of brutal occupation, apartheid, and genocide.

As we see the release from Israeli captivity of members of the flotilla, we must not forget their core mission - justice and freedom for the Palestinian people. Heed the call of the Global Sumud Flotilla and all the flotillas that follow and join us in this critical fight against the genocide, against Israeli apartheid, and for justice and freedom for the Palestinian people.

Are you new or newly returning to DSA? To Los Angeles? To the Left? Then join us for DSA 101!

At this orientation, we'll talk about what capitalism is, how it functions, and why socialism is ideologically opposed to it. Participants will also learn about the history of our organization and our chapter in particular, the current projects we're working on, and how you can get involved. This is not a lecture, but a meeting for new and veteran organizers to ground ourselves in socialist theory and discuss together how we can put it into action so come meet like minded individuals in your area!

Looking forward to meeting you!

Coalition Building

Successful multiracial, working-class organizing requires the participation of strong and lasting coalition partners. This training will explore why coalitions are essential to this work, define what a coalition is (and isn’t), and provide strategies for effectively building new coalitions or joining existing ones.

Open to DSA-LA members in good standing.

--------------------------------

This training is part of a four-part series designed to teach essential organizing skills, giving DSA-LA members the technical knowledge needed to participate in and lead campaign efforts.
