🌹 2020, Bernie Sanders, and Socialist Feminism: How do we engage? Queer & Feminist Caucus
November 9 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join the Queer & Feminist Caucus for a discussion on the 2020 elections from a feminist perspective. People have a lot on their minds about this election: getting the Predator-in-Chief out of office, choosing the most viable candidate to defeat him, how do we get the socialist policies like Medicare for All and a Green New Deal that we need, what are the real differences between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, and fundamental questions like how do we change this system once and for all.
This is our monthly meeting and any and all are welcome!
🌹 A Green New Deal and Ecosocialism Meeting
November 10 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
We envision a fair and effective Green New Deal to halt climate change and win environmental justice. In the short term, Seattle DSA’s Green New Deal Committee is developing a campaign to win Free Transit for All county-wide. Join us and the Ecosocialism Caucus, which will be offering a reading group later this fall. (Reading list at https://seattledsa.org/ecosocialism/) Questions? Ask [email protected].

🌹 Block Amazon's Bid on Biden: Abolish ICE, Save the Planet!
November 16 @ 4:30 PM – 7 PM
Join the sunset protest at Kerry Park next door to the millionaire Amazon executive hosting a private fundraiser for Biden. It's time to sunset corporate politics!
Joe Biden is coming to Seattle for his 4th closed-door presidential campaign fundraiser of the year, without doing a single public event in the state. This $2,800 a plate dinner (the donation max) will be hosted by a mega-millionaire Amazon executive who recently funneled big money into the Seattle City Council races to try to beat progressive candidates and silence Seattle’s workers. Amazon rakes in millions from its work fueling ICE's cruel detention & deportation machine, and meanwhile pays $0 in Federal income taxes - actually getting a $129 million refund last year!
Joe Biden oversaw more than 3,000,000 deportations and has funded his campaign through big money donations from corporate executives. Like other business-backed candidates, he puts his platform to use working against the Green New Deal, against Medicare for All, and against abolishing ICE.
Demands:
We can’t let Amazon executives buy another corporate candidate! We call for:
No more corporate cash in politics!
Abolish ICE
Tax Amazon
Tax the rich
Green New Deal and Medicare for All!
