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 our fight for
working class power, go to dsausa.org/join and join today!

We had another great round of canvassing
last weekend - we're in the home stretch for the Detroit For All
Campaign and we need everybody we can get on the doors for the next
two weeks. Join
your comrades this
weekend for a lovely autumn canvass!
Next Tuesday is the final class of
our Socialist 101 Series, "Ecosocialism
or Extinction", highlighting the importance of not only
embracing green energy but also decolonization and ending the
exploitation of land for the sake of capitalist greed.
We're also putting the "social" in
socialist this week with two social events - Game
Night and Vibe
Night, both of which can be enjoyed from the comfort of
your home as you snack on candy while wearing your most comfortable
pair of sweatpants. This is a great chance for newer members to meet
other comrades and bond over games, music, and the things that make
life worth living.
No matter how you decide to organize with us, we look forward to
getting to know you and working together to create the better world we
know is possible!
Solidarity forever,
Detroit
DSA
🌹 UPCOMING EVENTS 🌹
Detroit for All Canvasses
Saturday, October 23rd and Sunday,
October 24th, 2-5PM
The Detroit For All
Campaign did another 1000 doors this weekend
thanks to 26 canvassers! Only two more weekends to go! We've got
14 volunteers signed up to poll stand on Election Day
and need to get to at least 24 to cover every polling
location. It's super easy - all you gotta do is hand out literature to
voters as they walk in to vote!

Socialist Night School: Ecosocialism or
Extinction
October 26th, 6:30PM
In Volume I of Capital, Karl Marx writes, "Capitalistic
agriculture is a progress in the art, not only of robbing the
labourer, but of robbing the soil." Capitalism's exploitation of the
Earth's resources has only increased as time has gone on to the point
where the planet's future is now potentially at stake. What is the
socialist perspective on the environment and what steps can be taken
to ensure a sustainable, equitable future? The October 26 Socialist
Night School "Ecosocialism or Extinction" will explore this topic,
along with the DSA's position on the Green New Deal.
Assigned readings and resources:
1. What do we mean by the Metabolic Rift? by Greg Peakin,
RS21
2. Global International Geosphere-Biosphere Program
Statement on the Great Acceleration
3. DSA’s Guiding Principles for a Green New
Deal
4. An Anti-Imperialist Climate Agenda by President Luis
Arce Catacora of the Plurinational State of
Bolivia

Vibe Night!
Wednesday, October 27th, 8PM
Like music? Want to meet your DSA comrades? Join us on Zoom
for Vibe Night on Wednesday, October 27. Here’s how it works: we exist
together in a Zoom call for as long as we want to, listening to good
music that we suggest, and talking in the chat or between songs about
whatever is on our mind. Or you can just vibe in the background. Bring
the link to your current jam and join us!
