Comrades!

Join Denver DSA in our inaugural Cranksgiving ride next weekend (Sunday the 21st) to help our neighbors stay safe and warm as the weather gets chilly. The supplies we gather will go to Mutual Aid Monday, a grassroots community organization advocating for people experiencing homelessness.

To participate in Cranksgiving, you’ll need to use active transportation to gather supplies that Mutual Aid Monday needs. We’ll provide a full supplies list with the suggested locations when the contest starts via social media and printouts at a registration table. To add to the fun, we’re offering prizes to the folks who bring the most individual items, visit the most locations, and haul things in the most creative way.

Keep an eye out for our next email this week with all the details you'll need to participate!

The window is closing to influence Xcel's Electric Resource Plan. This is a huge opportunity to get our state to transition away from coal and gas to wind and solar. We're calling on all members to take one of two actions.

1. Write a comment to the Public Utility Commission (PUC) demanding they hold Xcel Energy to closing all coal plants by 2030.
2. Join the last Public Comment Session on December 2nd and tell the PUC directly that Xcel's plan must close coal by 2030. We're throwing a comment and watch party to make the event interesting. RSVP here!

The Housing Justice Committee is kicking off phase 2 of NEWR, starting to set up working groups to plan the massive electoral campaign we'll be running in 2022. Jump in at the next NEWR meeting on the 22nd @ 7 pm on Zoom. And in the meantime, we'll be working with the East Colfax Community Collective to help set up a rapid-response eviction defense team in their neighborhood, try to expand the reach of their legal clinics to other parts of the city, and help organize tenants to fight for their rights. If you want to get involved please hit us up by email at [email protected] or pop into the next Housing Justice meeting on December 1st!

🌹 Steering Committee
Next meeting: Monday, November 18th | 6:00 - 7:00 PM  Join us here!
Our chapter's Steering Committee meets every 2nd and 4th Monday to help guide the chapter at large and promote cohesion between committees and working groups. These meetings are open to all, so please come with any questions or concerns! All members are heavily encouraged to attend steering meetings - which are often a good way to learn about what all parts of the chapter are doing.
