Seattle DSA Social!
2023-01-22 16:00 - 19:00 | Clock-out Lounge, 4864 Beacon Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98108, United States
Working to create socialism is sometimes … well, a lot of work! If it’s all rallies and meetings and spreadsheets, it can turn into a drag real quick. We think it’s important to have some time to just simply get to know each other, connect over food and drinks, and have fun together — that’s what this social is for! No big speeches, no business, just time to connect with other leftists.
What to expect:

There will be folks to greet you when you arrive and all the DSA tables will be clearly marked.
We will set aside a few tables for designated activities (board games / political discussion / etc.) *
Not a member? Not a problem! We’ll have several folks on hand who love talking to new folks! Whether you are a long-time member or just curious about Seattle DSA, this event is for you!
It’s fine to arrive late — we’ll be around till at least 7.

Please RSVP on this page so we have an idea of how many people to expect. Also, feel free to bring a friend. See you there!

Raise The Wage Renton has enough signatures to qualify for the ballot in February.(*)
Tacoma For All’s Tenant Bill of Rights will be on the ballot in November.
Seattle DSA and Tacoma DSA have been key forces behind both ballot initiatives, and now that they are both on the ballot, it is time to celebrate — before we get back to work, to make sure both initiatives are approved by voters.
Come join us for an outdoor celebration on Saturday October 14, before northwest winter sets in.
This event is mostly a social/celebration of the work we’ve done so far. There will also be brief updates and discussion on the two campaigns from 4 to 5 PM.
We will have:
– A special update announcement on Raise the Wage Renton
– A celebration/fundraiser for the Tacoma for All ballot initiative
– Snacks
– Outdoor space
– Music and great company
Please bring a snack or drink to share.
And please contribute to these important campaigns if you can.
The celebration will be outdoors, under covers, at a private residence near the Othello light rail station in south Seattle. Please RSVP below, and look for the exact address in the confirmation email.
