Friend --

Now that the 2019 DSA-LA Annual Convention has come and gone, our chapter has set its priorities and is ready to get to work. Our chapter has chosen to work towards a Green New Deal in Los Angeles, supporting the Bernie Sanders campaign, and ensuring that we organize for all Angelenos. For a review of our Annual Convention, please check out our blog post.
