November Ballot Recommendations
Thursday, October 1, 6:30pm to 8:00pm
With ballots dropping just a few days after October 1, we will be meeting to go over all the propositions and local races with the purpose of making a DSA SB voter guide. California elections are always confusing, so this will be a good opportunity to get to know what’s on the ballot while we vote on recommendations to make our positions clear to fellow Democratic Socialists in Santa Barbara.

Help us map our local labor environment
Fill out our Labor Survey!
Go to dsasb.org/survey to help our labor working group map our local environment and develop a labor strategy in Santa Barbara. It is a short and simple survey, and once you submit it you’ll be entered into a raffle to win some gardening goodies (courtesy of our Treasurer, Sara S.) .
