This text is important too, it's just quiet and at the bottom. The Democratic Socialists of America is 100% member-funded, and the Denver chapter is no exception. If you like the work we're doing, please consider donating directly to the chapter so we have the financial means to keep doing it! While we receive quarterly dues shares from National, your direct donation to Denver DSA gets money into organizers’ hands quicker. Give us socialist cash to beat capitalist trash! https://denverdsa.org/donate
