Detroit DSA is a 1200+ member funded
organization. We receive no money from outside sources so we can say
things like "Defund the Police" and "Abolish ICE" without losing
funding, and we will always act democratically in the interests of our
members and the working class! If
you're able to, we ask that you make monthly contributions as they
more directly benefit our chapter. Thank you for whatever amount
you're able to contribute!

This weekend, we've got a crucial
Detroit for All canvass with the August 3rd
Primary less than a month away.
On Saturday, our Black and
Brown Alliance will be hosting an in-person Sober
Happy Hour at Shatila's in Dearborn. National DSA is also putting on a pair of
events we hope you can make it to - a conversation about how we can
make DSA anti-racist and multi-racial, presented
by Alyssa de la Rosa and David
Roddy, plus our first ever DSA
telethon!
We look forward to seeing
you!
Solidarity forever,
Detroit DSA

How Can We Make DSA Anti-Racist and Multi-Racial?
Sunday,
July 18th at 7PM
A conversation connecting issues faced by people of color
during DSA's origins and today, between the authors of “A People of Color’s
History of DSA” (2019), Alyssa de la Rosa
and David Roddy of Sacramento DSA, and authors of two
convention resolutions, #27 (Beyond
100K) and #31 (Making DSA a
Multiracial and Anti-racist Organization).
De La Rosa and Roddy conducted archival research and talked
with founders of the people of color caucuses in the original DSA/NAM.
They will present a short summary of their findings, followed by a
moderated conversation with authors of resolutions #27 and #31. All
DSA members welcome - for DSA to become a self-consciously multiracial
and anti-racist organization, we need everyone's efforts.

Jumpstart Socialism for a New Tomorrow Telethon
Friday, July
30th at 8PM
We don't know what resolutions will be passed at this year's
convention, but we know we will leave the convention with our next two
years of organizing cut out for us. And that means we're going to need
funds to make all that organizing happen! That's why we're kicking off
this year's convention with a telethon fundraiser to Jumpstart Socialism for a New Tomorrow on
Friday July 30th at 8pm ET.
In
solidarity,
🌹 Detroit
DSA
