Friend --
Next week, join us for the Big Bernie Weekend! We are only 3 months away from the California Primary (& 2 months from the drop of mail-in ballots) so we have a long weekend full of Bernie events to rally the East Bay & build our movement!
Bernie Sanders is fighting for the bold change we need: Medicare for All, College for All, Housing for All, the Green New Deal and taxing the wealthy. Bernie is the only candidate working to build a multiracial, working-class movement to take the White House. Come join us next weekend and help grow the revolution one conversation at a time!

Come hang out with East Bay DSA! We’ll talk about Bernie’s Housing for All plan, and how you can get involved in the fight for universal rent control and public housing.
This is a great event for people who want to learn more about DSA, housing as a human right, or our campaign for Bernie. We'll tell you about upcoming events and how you can get involved!

Knock Doors for Bernie and the Green New Deal for Public Housing <[link removed]>
DeFremery Park aka Little Bobby Hutton Park 1651 Adeline Street, Oakland <[link removed]>
As part of our Big Bernie Weekend, we are spreading the word about the Green New Deal for Public Housing - Bernie’s bill to upgrade and decarbonize federal public housing in the U.S.! Buildings are responsible for one-third of U.S. carbon emissions; this bill will retrofit the nation’s 1.2 million federally administered homes to make them carbon-neutral. That would be the equivalent of taking 1.2 million cars off the road.
This is not just a crucial path to preventing climate change: it would also greatly improve the lives of public housing residents. According to the Urban Institute, public housing is in disrepair, and is in need of “major capital repairs like new windows, plumbing, roofs, and heating systems to keep it operational”. Lead pipes would finally be replaced, and necessary repairs would be made. Energy-saving retrofits would reduce the costs of public-housing water bills by 30%, and energy costs by 70%.
In addition, it prioritizes hiring public housing residents to work on the improvements, and repeals the HUD ban on funding new public housing!

Knock Doors for Bernie <[link removed]>
4799 Shattuck Ave, Oakland <[link removed]>
We will be wrapping up our December General Meeting (and our Big Bernie Weekend) by canvassing our neighbors! Our campaign is also rapidly approaching 10,000 doors knocked in just two short months. We’re very likely to hit the milestone at this canvass — but we’ll need every volunteer we can get to make it happen. Stick around after the General Meeting for the canvass!
