Child Watch Meeting: Right After Education Working Group

Childcare is often prohibitively expensive for working families. This can prevent them from participating in meetings and events Houston DSA puts on, even if they are interested. By providing a child watch program in a way that is beneficial to both the watchers and children, we are better able to see to the needs of our community and allow more working people to participate in the political process. In addition, child watch can be part of the education process for the next generation of socialists.

For these reasons and more, such as the priority resolution passed at the National Convention, Houston DSA is committed to providing a quality child watch system! Immediately after the next Education Working Group Meeting, which is from 6-7 on October 21 at Bohemeo's, from 7-9 we will be having a Child Watch meeting. We'll be talking about the work that we have already done, what needs to get done, and our overall visions for the program.

If you want to volunteer or contribute in any way, and especially if you are a parent, guardian, or caregiver and have suggestions or advice, I urge you to come to this important meeting! For all the reasons stated above, it is vital we get rolling on this! Hope to see y'all there!

Last Week in Houston DSA

The Reading Group met Monday night and had their first discussion on The People's History of Walmart. The discussion and analysis was rousing and well informed as they discussed the ways megacorporations like Walmart use centralized planning to line the pockets of the capitalist owners, instead of for the people. Join them October 14 for the second discussion, covering chapters 4-7!

On Wednesday, the State and Local Working Group Working Group met, discussing our ongoing campaigns and endorsed candidates, current data projects, and beginning to create a voter guide for this November! If you are a policy wonk, enjoy planning campaigns, or want to learn more about politics beyond the national, come out to the next meeting October 30 and the last Wednesday of every month!
