Hi Comrades,
This is Christian, one of the co-chairs of Berkshires DSA, reaching out to
you all about some actions and events that you can participate in in the
coming days and weeks to help advance the democratic socialist project:
The Executive Committee is pushing out a poll to survey our chapter on how
we feel, collectively as a chapter, on endorsing and supporting Ed Markey
and donating $50 from the chapter treasury to our comrades in Portland DSA.
Ed Markey is one of the current incumbent senators for Massachusetts who
co-authored and introduced the resolution for a Green New Deal with
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and co-sponsored Medicare for All. He is
currently being challenged by Rep. Joseph Kennedy III D-MA., grandson of
former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and recipient of large sums of
fossil fuel and pharmaceutical industry money.
Portland DSA has been heavily involved in leftist and antifascist movements
and organizing in the Pacific Northwest, and recently has taken part in
mass demonstrations in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in
Portland which are under heavy surveillance and assault from local and
federal law enforcement agencies. They have requested financial assistance
from other DSA chapters to help them cope with this crisis. Please record
your responses in the Google Form

.
The Alex Morse campaign is asking for all hands on deck in the last month
leading up to the primary. While many of you have been phone banking or
(more recently) socially distant canvassing for Alex Morse, there’s a
greater need for one last push to overtake Richie Neal, starting this
weekend, with the Morse Campaign’s Month-Out Weekend of Action

Finally, National DSA is asking for any and all comrades to support the
Demand Safe Schools National Day of Resistance on August 3rd. For more
information, please click the hyperlink here

on Facebook and Instagram for more information!
In Solidarity, Christian Kennedy
