Friend —
Detroit DSA is proud to announce our endorsement
of Landis Spencer for District 6 Board of Police
Commissioners. Landis is a proud Detroiter and socialist
living in District 6. He is Co-Chair of the Black & Brown Alliance
of DSA and has been leading our chapters fight to show our government
that Black Lives Matter.
Detroiters
need health care, mental health services, fully funded public schools,
not police brutality. We deserve a true representative of
District 6 who will listen and be a voice for the people. Someone who
will protect our civil rights and return the Board of Police
Commissioners to its original purpose, which is real
civilian oversight of the Detroit Police
Department.
If you’re
interested in volunteering to knock doors or if you have any skills
you can contribute to the campaign sign up here:

ABCS of Socialism: Why the Working
Class? Tuesday, December 15th at 6:30PM
Why are leftists always talking about the working class? What
unique power does the working class hold, and how might we leverage it
to overthrow capitalism? And, crucially, what roadblocks have kept us
from doing so already?
In this night school class we'll explore the answers to these
questions, and examine some modern-day examples of working class
people challenging ruling class power, with varying degrees of
success--and look at roadmaps forward.

profits for a few.
