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!
Our records indicate that you are not yet a member. If you're ready to join us in the fight for the working class, go to dsausa.org/join <[link removed]>and become a member today!

Friend --
As the capitalist class has continued to prioritize short-term profits over taking any real action on Climate Change, New Orleans has once again been ravaged by a hurricane and is in desperate need of help. For those interested, there's a mutual aid fund <[link removed]> collecting donations to help our comrades who are once again forced to rebuild.
Here in Detroit, we're of course taking the upcoming Labor Day Weekend off, but afterwards we've got got plenty going on in September - a party <[link removed]> to celebrate Bernie's 80th birthday, our General Meeting <[link removed]> on the 11th (followed by a Detroit for All <[link removed]> Canvass), Motor City Pride <[link removed]> on the 18th and 19th, and the return of Socialist Night School with our Socialism 101Series on September 21st!
With so much going on, there are tons of great opportunities to meet with your comrades and together, we can build the better world we know is possible!
Solidarity forever,
Detroit DSA
