2025-11-16 17:00 - 18:30 | Victrola Coffee (411 15th Ave E), 411 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA, 98112, United States
Shutdown Capitulation: Dems Cave!
Reform the Democratic Party or Do We Need a New Party?
This Sunday, 11/16
5pm
Victrola Cafe (411 15th Ave E) – Community room

In spectacular fashion the Democratic Party Establishment folded to Trump and the GOP’s intransigence without winning anything on their central demand for healthcare subsidies. What is the way forward for stopping Trump and the Rights rampage on working people? It’s clear we can’t rely on the Democratic Party establishment – should we try to reform the Dems? Or build a new political party? IS the solution to elect more Zohran’s as Democrats? Or maybe we eschew the electoral plane all together and focus on mutual aid and directly helping working people through tenant unions and the like?
Join the next Seattle DSA District 3 branch mtg to meet and discuss with your fellow District 3 members – you don’t need to live in D3 to attend, all are welcome! We’ll be also discussing tabling and postering in District 3 to get the word out about the free childcare campaign, find volunteers, and have people fill out a brief survey.
See ya on Sunday!

People’s Forum on Artificial Intelligence
Hosted by Seattle DSA, Troublemakers, and 350 Seattle
Join us for a series of community discussions on the real power and politics behind artificial intelligence – from the data centers draining our water and energy to the algorithms reshaping work, democracy, and daily life.
This isn’t a tech talk; it’s a people’s conversation about who controls our future and how we can fight for one that serves the public good.
Together, we’ll connect labor, climate, and justice struggles, and build the understanding and solidarity we need to push back.
Session 1: Data Centers, Water, and Energy — Who Controls the Commons?
Wednesday, November 19 | 6–8 PM | Prospect UCC | RSVP HERE
As AI expands, data centers are multiplying across Washington, drawing enormous amounts of water and energy without public oversight. Who decides how these resources are used? Who benefits, and who bears the costs?
Session 2: Demystifying AI — Power, Labor, and Control
Monday, December 8 | 6–8 PM | Prospect UCC | RSVP HERE
AI isn’t magic: it’s built on vast amounts of data, energy, and labor. Who controls it, and who profits? How is automation reshaping jobs, surveillance, and power?
Free and open to the public.
Doors open at 6:00pm for a potluck – bring a dish if you’re inspired! Program starts at 6:30pm.

Universal Childcare Campaign Power Analysis Brainstorm
2025-11-23 16:00 - 19:00 | location tbd

Zohran, Wilson, the Left & the Police: How should the Left and its candidates relate to the police?
2025-11-23 17:00 - 18:30 | Victrola Coffee (411 15th Ave E), 411 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA, 98112, United States
Zohran, Wilson, the Left & the Police:
How should the Left and its candidates relate to the police?
This Sun 11/23
5pm
Victrola Cafe (411 15th Ave E) – Community Room
Since the 2020 Black Lives Matter movement, left-wing and democratic socialist candidates have faced scrutiny over their past positions on the police and are relentlessly pilloried for them. We saw this in the mayoral races in both NYC and Seattle. In response Zohran and Wilson put forward starkly different positions than they had in the past – Zohran apologized to NYC police for saying the NYC police department was racist and he is keeping the current Police Commissioner on as commissioner. Wilson has also softened on the police by saying recently that the police do a hard job and that we need more “boots on the ground” (police). How should left-wing and socialist candidates and the left relate to the police? Should we call for the abolition of the police and to defund the police? Do left wing/democratic socialist candidates have to speak positively about the police to get elected? What role do the police play in a capitalist society?

Join the next Seattle DSA District 3 branch meeting (you DON’T need to live in D3 to attend!) to discuss this important issue, along with whether the US is going to invade Venezuela, building the Seattle District 3 branch and possibly District 3 joining the 11/26 Boycott War Profitters Thanksgiving Blackout picket at PCC’s across the city. We’ll also continue the discussion on electing co-chairs.

This is the workers’ fight and we want them to win. However they choose to carry forward that struggle, we’re there to back them up!

Well Washington Fund Kick-off Rally with Representative Shaun Scott
2025-12-02 13:00 - 15:00 | 416 Sid Snyder Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98504, 416 Sid Snyder Ave SW, Olympia, 98504, United States
Washington State Representative Shaun Scott and the Democratic Socialists of America are holding a rally and press conference on the steps of the capitol building to announce the Well Washington Fund Bill.
Washington State is home to some of the wealthiest and most profitable corporations on earth, and Seattle in particular has had a front-row seat to the last few decades of skyrocketing wealth inequality, unaffordable housing and jarring labor disruptions brought forth by an unfettered tech industry. In the face of austerity imposed by Trump and Washington, DC, we need progressive revenue to fund all the vital services that Washington State provides.
We must show that the people of Washington State will care for one another. Join us in supporting this bill to tell Olympia that we won’t accept inaction in the face of looming austerity!

From shadow to light: Nick Fuentes, MTG, and MAGA - What does this tell us about working class consciousness & how to Fight the Right?
2025-12-07 17:00 - 18:30 | Victrola Coffee (411 15th Ave E), 411 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA, 98112, United States
From shadow to light: Nick Fuentes, MTG, and MAGA –
What does this tell us about working class consciousness &
how to Fight the Right?
This Sunday (12/7)
5pm
Victrola Cafe (411 15th Ave E) – Community room

Special Speaker: Brandon (newly elected co-chair of D3) who works in the polling industry about his insights on these vital questions.
The Right is on the march, winning elections across the globe – with more on the horizon. Bona fide fascist Nick Fuentes has seen his popularity, both in the Republican Party and amongst a growing section of working class people, explode over the past year, with him at one point briefly surpassing Joe Rogan’s podcast as the most popular.
Meanwhile MTG is spitting fire – sounding more Bernie Sanders than MTG of 2020 – in her tweets, press conferences and media appearances in a high profile row lashing Trump and his administration for abandoning “America First” and not releasing the Epstein files.

These two competing factions in the MAGA tent are vying for supremacy in the movement and to stake their claim as the true voice of the Right and MAGA once Trump leaves office.

What does their popularity say about the consciousness of large swathes of the working class who put Trump back into office and watch Fuentes podcast? Are large sections of the working class hopelessly right wing? Has US society more generally shifted to the Right?
Are Nick Fuentes, MTG, Trump, and Laura Loomer fascists? What’s the most effective way to fight the Right? Is it focusing on local actions, like ballot initiatives? Is it black bloc actions in the streets? Is it to run candidates? Or should we focus on helping those we can, like with soup kitchens and other mutual aid projects?
Hear from Brandon (newly elected co-chair of D3) who works in the polling industry about his insights on these vital questions. We’ll also discuss the childcare campaign and what actions we can take in D3.

People’s Forum on Artificial Intelligence
Hosted by Seattle DSA, Troublemakers, and 350 Seattle
Join us for a series of community discussions on the real power and politics behind artificial intelligence – from the data centers draining our water and energy to the algorithms reshaping work, democracy, and daily life.
This isn’t a tech talk; it’s a people’s conversation about who controls our future and how we can fight for one that serves the public good.
Together, we’ll connect labor, climate, and justice struggles, and build the understanding and solidarity we need to push back.
Session 2: Demystifying AI — Power, Labor, and Control
Monday, December 8 | 5:30 – 8:30 PM | Prospect UCC | RSVP HERE
AI isn’t magic: it’s built on vast amounts of data, energy, and labor. Who controls it, and who profits? How is automation reshaping jobs, surveillance, and power?
Free and open to the public.
PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE: Doors open at 5:30pm for potluck (allowing more time for food + community mingling), program starts at 6:30 pm.
