Friend —

Fired up from the Bernie Rally in Detroit? We have loads of events coming up! Get plugged in :)

Saturday General Meeting 
Autoworkers vs. GM: Who Won?

This Saturday, Nov. 2 from 10am to 12pm, we’ll be having our monthly general meeting <[link removed]> at Ant Hall in Hamtramck (2320 Caniff). We’ll be hosting a panel on the recent GM strike and UAW deal with Jane Slaughter of Labor Notes and Dianne Feeley of the Autoworkers Caravan. (To familiarize yourself with the issues ahead of time, check out some stellar journalism from Dianne <[link removed]> and Jane <[link removed]>.)

We’ll also be sharing next steps for our chapter’s DSA for Bernie campaign, discussing the upcoming Medicare for All Town Hall with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed and Dr. Victoria Dooley, and making a final push for Ferndale for All.  



#FerndaleforAll

It’s crunch time! Ferndale’s municipal elections are less than a week away (on Tuesday, Nov. 5) and our candidates—Nada Daher <[link removed]> (Council) and Brian Stawowy <[link removed]> (Mayor)—really need your help. 

Here’s our plan to win in Ferndale:

- Wed./Thur., 5-7pm — Canvass
- Fri., 5-8pm — Sticker Party
- Sat./Sun. — Deliver campaign literature
- Tue., Nov. 5, 7am–8pm, ELECTION DAY

Sign up for a shift here! <[link removed]>

This is not a time to sit on the sidelines. It’s time to canvass your heart out—even if you don’t like to canvass—and spread the gospel of affordable housing and a local Green New Deal in Ferndale.

If we have a big turnout from DSA this week we can achieve our goal of hitting every single door in Ferndale and electing two badass open socialists to office. Wow.   

Friday evening the campaigns will be prepping 10,000 pieces of literature with polling location details. Saturday and Sunday they'll be dropping them off all over Ferndale. 

We need **all hands on deck** for Election Day in Ferndale from 7 am to 8 pm on Tuesday. The big day will end with a MASSIVE victory party at J's Penalty Box at 22726 Woodward Ave, Ferndale. 

Sign up here. <[link removed]>

Election day tasks include passing out lit at polling locations, text banking, phone banking, doing last-minute canvassing, and more. 

Can't make it out in person? Donate to the campaigns <[link removed]> to help cover last minute expenses. 




Medicare for All: Accept Nothing Less
with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Dr. Victoria Dooley and Marjorie Mitchell

Detroit DSA and YDSA of OU are hosting a Town Hall on Medicare for All <[link removed]> at Oakland University on Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 6–8 pm. Our panel of speakers will include the incomparable Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Dr. Victoria Dooley—who you may have seen introduce Bernie Sanders on Sunday at Cass Tech—and lifelong healthcare activist Marjorie Mitchell.

Whether you want to learn more or engage directly in the discussion come join us to hear from activists, experts, and healthcare providers.

You'll hear how we would implement single-payer, how it would improve lives, and have a chance to ask us any questions of your own.

In solidarity,

Natasha Fernández-Silber
