SDSA for Gallardo south KC phonebank
2022-01-09 17:00 - 19:00 | On Zoom, WA, United States
Seattle DSA for Gallardo is starting to form teams in various parts of south King County and eastside, in preparation for our tabling and canvassing activities in various parts of the 9th Congressional District. The campaign wants to collect 1740 signatures from CD-9 voters to get Stephanie on the ballot in lieu of paying a filing fee, and we hope to start tabling early in 2022.
We are starting with a phonebank on January 9 to our members and supporters in south King County and eastside. The goal is to let them know about our endorsed candidate Stephanie Gallardo and recruit for the various city teams.
Before the phonebank, we will get a report on the status of the campaign, give a quick tutorial of how CallHub works, and a review of the phonebank script and our main asks. Then we will do phone calls for about an hour to 90 minutes, then regroup for a recap and report-back.

From Buffalo to Seattle: Starbucks Workers Push to Unionize - How can SDSA help? Next District 3 Meeting
2022-01-13 18:30 - 20:00 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
Since the first Buffalo NY Starbucks store voted to unionize last December, Starbucks workers across the country have announced elections to form unions at nearly a dozen stores, with at least one in Seattle – in District 3 – announcing. While the number of stores at this stage are a small fraction of the over 8000 Starbucks across the country, this is an important and exciting battle against one of the biggest corporations in the US that can inspire other workers to take action and points to a growing radicalization among a layer of working people and youth. Join District 3 members to discuss the unionization efforts nationally and locally, what the workers are demanding, the potential role of socialists in these campaigns, and how we in District 3 and Seattle DSA can support their efforts.

D2 Discussion: New Struggles & Looming Disaster for the Dems at the Midterms
2022-01-27 18:30 - 20:00 | At the park NE of Brighton Playfield (42 Ave S/Juneau S), 42 Ave S/Juneau S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
We invite you to join us for a discussion on what we can expect in the year ahead:
New Struggles & Looming Disaster for the Dems at the Midterms
Thu, Jan 27, 6.30pm
No rain? → Outdoors, in person at the park NE of Brighton Playfield (42 Ave S/Juneau S) – Mask up please!
Rain? → Zoom meeting (we’ll send the link if needed)
Starbucks workers are organizing from Buffalo to our very own Seattle, making history for the food-service sector. Meanwhile, activists are preparing for May 1st actions to cancel student debt, while the Biden Administration makes increasingly clear this is yet another promise they will fold on. Defenders of reproductive rights are mobilizing to the best of their ability with very little leadership from mainstream liberal organizations.
It’s a time of both raised class-consciousness, and a feeling of incredible helplessness. The Democrats catapult toward disaster at the midterms, leaving space for dangerous and disingenuous right wing politicians and media outlets to paint themselves as populists. It’s up to the left and the labor movement to provide an alternative.
Jane MacAlevey said last month: “We need way more picket lines and a very different approach to them from [Biden’s] administration, or we are going to face a brutal, brutal discussion a year from now when the House and the Senate are lost … and the possibility of ongoing Trumpism.” We can add: we need way more protests to defend abortion rights, many more actions to fight racism, and many more people involved to build toward a powerful socialist movement.
However, these are scary times and many feel futile. Let’s discuss what DSA can do to build toward a powerful alternative based on the power of the multiracial working class.
See you on Thursday, January 27, 6.30pm! Hopefully in person in the park near 42 Ave S/Juneau S, or – if it rains – over Zoom (in that case we will send around a link and let everybody know that we are not meeting in person)!
In solidarity,
Your D2 CoConveners
Harris Liebermann, Phil Rudd, Stephan Kimmerle

Dark Clouds and Green Shoots: The Looming 2022 Midterm Disaster, DSA & New Struggles Next District 3 Mtg
2022-01-27 18:30 - 20:00 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
Last year was hard. This year offers the same. But it also offers hope – Starbucks workers are rising up to unionize. Moreover, last years 10/2 Womens March for reproductive rights points toward the potential for mass struggle to defend Roe v Wade and broadly reproductive rights. Green shoots beneath the debris.
However, dark clouds are on the horizon.
With sinking poll numbers and large portions of Biden’s agenda in tatters, calls for a course correction are growing as fears of a bloodbath in the midterms mount. Jane MacAlevey said last month: “We need way more picket lines and a very different approach to them from [Biden’s] administration, or we are going to face a brutal, brutal discussion a year from now when the House and the Senate are lost … and the possibility of ongoing Trumpism.” We can add: we need way more protests to defend abortion rights, many more actions to fight racism, and many more people involved to build toward a powerful socialist movement.
Join District 3 members (all are welcome!) to discuss why the Biden administration is flailing, what DSA electeds could be doing, and what DSA can do to fight for reforms and build the socialist movement in 2022.

War in Ukraine? Next District 3 Meeting
2022-02-10 18:30 - 20:00 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
Russia and the U.S. (along with the E.U. and NATO) have begun amassing troops in Eastern Europe as a Russian invasion of Ukraine appears increasingly imminent. The media frenzy around the rapidly escalating tensions between Russia and the U.S. gives dizzying and terrifying reports of arms deals, troop deployments, sanctions, and political standoffs. Will Russia invade the Ukraine? Why is this happening? What role does or has imperialism played? Who is to blame?
Unfortunately, the Left in the U.S. has been caught mostly flatfooted in its approach to this international crisis. While DSA and some left-wing members of congress have issued good statements in opposition to any escalation to this costly saber rattling, a much deeper and more widespread preparation of the U.S. and Russian working-classes is needed to prevent war and fight imperialism in their respective countries. What’s the role of socialists in the US? What demands could DSA use to help build an anti-war movement against war in Ukraine?
Join D3 this Thursday to learn about and discuss the Ukraine Crisis, how DSA can help build a strong anti-war movement, and how socialists in the U.S. should approach international solidarity. We’ll also be discussing the Joe Rogan controversy and whether socialists should support deplatoforming and the exciting Starbucks Workers Solidarity Campaign.
