[my previous message was missing a link to the YDSA event, so this is the correction. Always send a test message...]
Twin Ports DSA Members and Associates,
Here's what is happening this week:
Tonight, 7pm, the Labor Engagement Group meets to continue work on the Pro ACT and more. Use this link to join us. More members are always welcome.
Friday, 5:30 pm, the Racial Justice Working Group meets. Email Lydia Goustin at [email protected] for a link to join.
Also Friday, time and location yet to be determined, we hope to have our first outdoor casual chapter check-in. So far weather looks good, warmer than recently. I will send an email with details later this week. It has been a long winter and many people have zoom fatigue, and in-person gatherings are very important (and fun).
On Saturday, May 15th, UMD YDSA is hosting our Racial Justice Working Group for a presentation on their work. If you would like to attend, use this link to register.
Finally, a reminder to the steering committee that Sunday at 2pm is our monthly steering meeting. I will send a link to members. If you are a chapter member and would like to attend, let me know and I will send it to you as well.
For those of you not on Facebook (and that's probably a good thing) here are a few of the more interesting articles we shared last week:
Jane McAlevey on why the union drive lost in Bessemer.
NY State might be on the verge of getting single payer health care (but opposition is powerful).
Locally, we have this news from the DNT: "According to a news release from the Minnesota Nurses Association, health care workers at Essentia and CHI worry that the acquisition will result in less access to patient care. The health systems signed a letter of intent in early January for Essentia to acquire 17 CommonSpirit facilities in Minnesota and North Dakota."
In solidarity,
John Krumm
TPDSA Secretary
