November General Membership: Socialist Analysis of the 2022 Midterm Elections

All are welcome to come discuss the results of the midterm elections, what they mean for the working class, the climate, abortion rights, anti racism, and our work building movements and DSA.

Typically Seattle DSA meets for our general membership meeting on the first Tuesday of the month. However, given the importance of the midterms, the Local Council voted to change the date to THURSDAY, Nov. 10. Be sure to read up on COVID safety guidelines before you attend.

Speakers include:

  • Lisa Featherstone is a columnist for Jacobin and The New Republic, as as a contributing writer for The Nation magazine. She is a member of NYC-DSA and UAW Local 7902.
  • Katie Wilson is general secretary of Transit Riders Union and campaign coordinator for Raise the Wage Tukwila (see the Election Night Watch party below)
  • John Nichols is an author and national affairs correspondent for The Nation.

Saturday means Housing for All and Safe, Guaranteed Abortion Access

This Saturday has a full day of organizing: House Our Neighbors Coalition members like Seattle DSA are canvassing near the Rainier Playfield and hours later, Seattle DSA is showing up for abortion and housing demands as the Mayor's office seeks to increase police funding by raiding general funds raised for housing. We can't police our way into housing and abortion. So, let's get people from all walks of life to say we're not going back and we're not settling "access" to these needs. We're demanding it in real life.

Raise the Wage in Tukwila by Transit Riders Union

Transit Riders Union has been instrumental in organizing the Raise the Wage campaign in Tukwila. Supports can join them at the election night Watch Party. To everyone who has shown up, thank you! RSVP required to attend.
