Hello, dear comrades!

Great to be talking with you again, as always. It's another ordinary week in the heart of the bloodiest empire in human history, and that means we need to focus on what's really important: intra-party politics! Joking aside, it is important that our chapter has good leadership, and it's time this month for your current (beloved) Steering Committee to pass the baton to a fresh-faced group, to be elected at tomorrow's General Meeting! Read on for more.

CHAPTER ANNOUNCEMENTS

🌹 NEWR Signature Gathering Canvass Sunday morning! 🌹
Cheesman Park (1599 E 8th Ave) | June 12, 9 AM-1 PM
Help stop unjust evictions in Denver with NEWR! And don't forget to follow the campaign on social media


Very last moment to nominate!—Chapter Steering Committee elections are tomorrow, Saturday, 6/12! If you're a member in good standing, send an email to [email protected] with a few sentences on why you'd like to run. Questions? Ask on Slack in #comm-steering or email [email protected]!

For the first time since we had to cancel our March 2020 monthly meeting as COVID first cropped up, we are having an in-person event! Come meet the comrades who are running for Steering Committee tomorrow night at 5pm at Cheesman Park Pavilion, have some snacks, and remember what in-person camaraderie feels like.

Here are the positions we'll be electing next week:

  • Co-Chairs: represent the chapter publicly and with national, set agendas and facilitate business, steering committee & organizing committee meetings
  • Treasurer: manage chapter funds & financial reporting
  • Secretary: organize meetings, take minutes and manage membership in Action Network
  • Coordination Chair: help committees work together to organize events and programs
  • Membership Chair: organize new member recruitment and onboarding efforts
  • Fundraising Chair: publicize existing fundraising methods (like our monthly donations page), t-shirt drives, and in the near future, in-person events!
  • Communications Chair: manage our social media pages, handle press contacts, and bottom-line this newsletter

National Membership Survey

Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey from DSA National! Knowing demographic details and member opinions helps inform our work on our national priorities, especially the recently passed resolution to Prioritize BIPOC Recruitment, Engagement, and Development.
