Detroit DSA is a 800+ member funded organization. We receive no money from outside sources so we can say things like "Defund the Police" and "Abolish ICE" without losing funding, and we will always act democratically in the interests of our members and the working class! If you're able to, we ask that you make monthly contributions as they more directly benefit our chapter. Thank you for whatever amount you're able to contribute!

Our records indicate that you are not yet a member. If you're ready to joining us in our fight for the working class and oppressed people everywhere, go to: dsausa.org/join.

Comrades in Coffee Action
Saturday, April 16th, 11AM-4PM
Marcus Market
4614 2nd Avenue, Detroit 48201

Comrades! The Great Lakes Coffee Workers will be having their next action at Marcus Market this Saturday from 11-4! We’ve been showing up in great numbers so far, and it's let our Comrades In Coffee and the local labor movement know that DSA stands with workers! Let's see if Marcus Market cares more about their local community or selling scab coffee?

May Day Celebration
Sunday, May 1st, 12-4PM
Belle Isle

This year, we're celebrating workers all over the world with a potluck social on May Day at Belle Isle! Whether you're new to DSA or a longtime organizer, this is a wonderful opportunity to get to know your comrades and hopefully kick off a summer filled with other outdoor events.

If you haven't made it out to a DSA event yet and don't know where to begin, this is a perfect chance for you to meet other members of our chapter and learn more about them and the work we're doing. We really hope you can make it!

Promotional graphic for the socialist book club reading: "Even after Great Society liberals committed themselves to improving conditions in Detroit, Thompson argues, poverty and police brutality continued to plague both neighborhoods and workplaces. Frustration with entrenched discrimintation and the lack of meaningful remedies not only led Black residents to erupt in the infamous urban uprising of 1967, but it also sparked myriad grassroots challenges to postwar liberalism in the wake of that rebellion. With deft attention to the historical background and to the dramatic struggles of Detroit's residents, and with a new prologue that argues for the ways in which the War on Crime and mass incarceration also devasted the Motor City over time, Thompson has written a biography of an entire nation at a time of crisis."

Socialist Book Club: Whose Detroit? w/Heather Thompson
Sunday, May 15, 2-4PM
Café 1923
2287 Holbrook Avenue, Hamtramck, 48212 

All are welcome to join! We'll be joined by the author, Heather Thompson. Once you sign up, additional supplementary materials will be available. This book is available at libraries as well as for purchase. The 2017 edition has an updated introduction and is preferred.
