Dear Christian —

I’m sending this from our national Queer Socialists Working Group (QSWG).
Right now, they’re working on more programming for LGBTQIA+ DSA members. *If
you’re a DSA member who identifies as queer, you can sign up to join the
QSWG here.*
<[link removed]> Read on
for more details!

In solidarity,

Maria Svart
DSA National Director

The only way we can take on the capitalist class is if queer socialists and
their comrades show up for one another, and join together in the fight for
a truly free society — free of discrimination based on sexual orientation,
gender identity, race/ethnicity, citizenship, religion, or HIV status.

Most queer people are working class and ready to fight for Medicare for
All, a Green New Deal, and Housing for All. We must make DSA a welcoming
organization for all LGBTQIA+ members and recruit more queer people to our
movement.

*We would like to invite all members of DSA who identify as queer to join
the national Queer Socialists Working Group (QSWG).*

*Join the Queer Socialists Working Group!

The goals of the Queer Socialists Working Group are:

1. Develop perspectives on queer oppression/resistance and class
struggle through collective political education.
2. Recruit queer people to DSA.
3. Connect queer comrades in discussion from DSA chapters across the
United States.

The QSWG meets once every two months via video conference to discuss group
readings, and maintains an email discussion group on topics of interest to
queer DSA members. *Sunday, 8/2 at 4pm ET/3pm CT/2pm MT/1pm PT, we’ll
discuss “Capitalism and Gay Identity” with author and DSA member John
D’Emilio. Fill out our QSWG form for call information.*
<[link removed]>

Over the next year we will be discussing a wide range of topics, including
the history of Stonewall and ACT UP; queer health and housing issues; and
queer workers and the labor movement. *Join us!*
