The first wealth is health.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Comrades,
How did Donald Trump get COVID-19? We haven't seen the complete
results of contract tracing from the White House, and it sounds like
we probably won't. But our amateur hypothesis is this: the President
caught it from someone who caught it from someone else, etc., and if
he'd done anything to control the spread of the virus back when it was
just other people getting sick, it would never have gotten near
him.
The ruling class could draw a few different lessons from this. They
could realize that our fates are linked after all — that you can't be
the only rich or safe or healthy person among the sick and starving,
even with a healthy security force
(https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/520116-white-house-security-official-reported-to-be-gravely-ill-with-covid)
. Or they could try the same thing they’ve always tried: denial,
walls, and violent repression, maybe just a little more this time, and
hope it keeps them above the danger it creates.
Well, while receiving white-glove treatment in a hospital room with
a chandelier, Trump said he wouldn't approve any more federal relief,
which means forcing more people into unsafe work sites and out onto
the street during the pandemic. If we thought an ER visit and an
experimental drug cocktail might show a capitalist the light, we can
stop wondering. They won't give us the power to keep ourselves
healthy, even to save their own lives.
That's why workers at Alameda Health System are on strike right now
(https://www.ahsfight.org/) . If we care about each other's health, we
have to take back power for ourselves, because the ruling class can’t
be trusted or shamed into doing the right thing. There's no other
option but to win. So please sign up for strike support
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd3DQ5XtcRFj0c8EHXD-I8XkC2hV7WRlohlXgcbodVjilpr8g/viewform)
!
This is literally a fight for the health of our community; as we
fight tooth and nail for every other aspect of a just society, that
can't be taken for granted.
Solidarity!

** TAX THE RICH: PROP 15 Banner
drop
------------------------------------------------------------
Friday,
October 9 | 4–6 p.m.
RSVP for location info ♿️
Come out and help
with Prop 15 freeway overpass banner drops on October 9 during rush
hour (4–6 p.m.) to publicize the importance of this ballot measure and
urge the passing motorists to vote YES on Prop 15. This will be a
socially distant, masked event as we make a public statement less than
a month before the election, and just days after ballots are mailed
out to voters, that corporations and wealthy Californians must pay
their fair share of taxes to support public schools and services.
Help thousands of drivers and passengers to see the message and
build some social media amplification!
We will occupy 8 overpasses with 12 banners, and need a total of at
least 36 people (3 per banner, five is nicer to hold a sign or two
alongside and take pics) to run the show.
RSVP and someone will be in touch about which overpass we'll need
support at!

♿️
Do you want to learn how to plan and implement direct actions?
Do you want to develop direct action strategies in our organization?
Do you want to prepare for the November election results?
Comrades, we learn to organize through many means. Political
education to sharpen our analysis, canvassing to practice skillful
communication, art builds to creatively spread propaganda. We must
also learn strategic direct action.
These past few months, we have seen a national uprising against
racist police terror and fascist violence. We need to prepare not only
for a continuation but an escalation. It will take mass working-class
action to combat fascism, police brutality and a capitalist class that
will not hesitate to swiftly and violently crush any public
demonstrations. As socialists, we must create coherent strategies, be
equipped with reliable tactics, and confidently lead our own direct
actions.
Join us for a two-day training led by Frailty Myths, an
organization dedicated to building leadership skills for women,
queers, and GNC folks. It is required that you sign up for both days,
and strongly encouraged that you lead future training to share
acquired skills. Hosted by East Bay DSA, DSA San Francisco, and
Sunrise Bay Area.

In cities and counties across the state, organized labor and DSA
chapters are uniting to win Prop 15 and demand a just recovery for the
working class!
Join DSA chapters and union members from up and down the state to
make calls to voters in support of Proposition 15, a.k.a. The Schools
and Communities First Act! We all have a stake in making our state a
better place, and talking to voters is how we win. We'll have
training, tools, and solidarity from unionists and DSA members from
all over California.
Prop 15 is a crucial piece of legislation that, if passed, will
reclaim ten to twelve BILLION dollars a year for California's public
schools and services by closing a commercial property tax loophole
that has been benefiting only a fraction of corporations and wealthy
investors for decades.
This proposition is a crucial step towards redistributing the
wealth and resources that corporations have been hoarding for years
back to the working-class public. So please join us to help spread the
word. Together we can build a California that works for all of us, not
just the wealthy few.

♿️
In this training, we will discuss and practice the art of the
one-on-one meeting. This is a powerful and foundational skill for any
organizer—it helps us form a political relationship with somebody,
understand more about who they are and what motivates them, and gives
us an opportunity to make a concrete ask of them.
One-on-one meetings can help us develop political relationships
with other working-class people, build leadership in your committee,
and move people to action. Come to this training to learn the
components of a one-on-one and get some real-life practice.
Note: While everybody is welcome, this training event is geared
towards people who are already active in the Democratic Socialists of
America or aligned organizations.

Help the Labor Committee Phonebank Members for the Labor Census!
We want as many members as possible to participate in this census so
we'll need all hands on deck to call through our membership list.
The labor census is an initiative to find out more about EBDSA
members and their workplaces. As a socialist organization, EBDSA needs
to be engaged in the task of building working-class power. There are
many ways this can be done, but organizing ourselves at the point of
production is one of the most effective and it starts simply by
meeting, connecting, and talking with others in one’s industry.
Our chapter’s greatest strength is its membership. At the moment,
many of our members aren’t aware of how they can build our movement
within their workplaces. This is where the census comes in. By finding
out what kind of work our members do, for whom, and what level of
organization exists at their workplaces, we can start to support our
members (unionized or non-unionized) to organize and build power in
their workplaces.

provided.*

Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole
history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions
yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. The
conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time
being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it
does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who
profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are men who want
crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder
and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many
waters.
-- Frederick Douglass
