Detroit DSA is an 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 join us in our fight for the working class, go to dsausa.org/join and join today!

Comrade Friend --


This weekend, we're meeting in Clark Park for our first in-person (weather permitting) General Membership Meeting of the year! Our Political Education Committee will be a leading a discussion on "Why An Organization", we'll have updates on our labor organizing and our DSA for Rashida Campaign, and we'll let you know how you can run for our next Steering Committee in June! We'll also hear from comrades organizing around abortion rights and there will be a rally to attend immediately following the meeting. We're hoping to see you (and plenty of sun) out there!  

Lastly, our Political Education Committee has two upcoming events - book clubs for "Climate Change as Class War" meeting later this month and "Whose Detroit?" in late June. Both authors will be attending these meetings! Read on for details on how you can join them.

Solidarity forever, 

Detroit DSA

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, June 26th, 2PM
Location TBD 

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.
