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 join us in fighting for the working class, go to dsausa.org/join and join today!

Comrade Friend --

We hope you're staying cool comrade! This Friday, we've got a couple great opportunities to chill with your comrades: The Queer Organizing Committee is hosting a social at Spot Lite in Detroit, and members of our Political Education Committee will be watching the documentary, "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" at the Detroit Film Theater.

Lastly, our Political Education Committee will be meeting soon at Swords Into Plowshares to discuss, "Whose Detroit?". We'll be joined by author Heather Thompson, so you won't want to miss it!

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."
