Hello, comrades!

There is SO MUCH happening in the chapter right now – we love to see it! As we gear up for the work ahead, we're also grieving the victims of state-sponsored violence in the US, Palestine, and across the globe. Another world is possible, and we're grateful to be fighting for it with you.

Electoral Committee:

Labor Committee:

The Denver wage theft ordinance passed this month – a HUGE win for workers in Denver. Several DDSA Labor members helped make this happen. Look for more info soon on next steps to fight wage theft.
