Trump's New World Disorder: Making sense of Trump 2.0 & how we can fight Trump, the Billionaires, & the Right
2025-04-27 17:00 - 18:30 | Victrola Coffee (411 15th Ave E), 411 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA, 98112, United States
You’re invited to the next Seattle DSA District 3 Meetup (everyone’s welcome!):
Trump’s New World Disorder:
Making sense of Trump 2.0 & how Seattle DSA and the Left can fight Trump, the Billionaires, & the Right
This Sunday, April 27, 5pm
Victrola Cafe, 411 15th Ave E (Community room)
RSVP
Trump is unleashing a furious blitzkrieg against working people across all fronts. From savaging social services, education, healthcare, the environment, to teeing up a massive tax cut for the rich and disappearing and mass deportation of both documented and undocumented workers.
His authoritarian impulses are coming to the fore through blistering executive orders aimed at tearing down democratic rights, demonizing oppressed layers of working people and youth, sharply dividing working people against each other to realize unmatched power and profits for Trump, the Right and the Billionaire class. But resistance is mounting, with working people taking to the streets to fight back in growing numbers.

Come discuss with your friendly neighborhood socialists! 😀
What will it take to defeat Trump and the Right? What can Seattle DSA, DSA National, unions and the Left do? How did this happen and why? What does Trump represent? Is a new world order being ushered in and if so, what is it?

Power of Protest? What's the most effective way to fight Trump & Musk?
2025-05-18 17:00 - 18:30 | Victrola Coffee (411 15th Ave E), 411 15th Ave E, Seattle, WA, 98112, United States
Power of Protest? Is this the most effective way to fight Trump & Musk?
This Sunday, May 18, 5pm
Victrola Cafe (411 15th Ave E)
Trump came back to power despite massive protests in his first term. The slaughter in Gaza continues despite worldwide revulsion and enormous global protests. The climate catastrophe continues unabated despite years of protests and growing alarm amongst the world’s population. Does this mean that protests don’t work? Are they simply performative? Would we be better served focusing on local politics instead and getting people elected than putting resources into building protests?

Join your friendly neighborhood socialists in District 3 in discussing these critical questions. All are welcome – even if you don’t live in District 3!

Counterprotest Anti-LGBTQ Hate Group MAYDAYUSA
2025-05-24 12:00 - 21:00 | Cal Anderson Park and Bobby Morris Playfield
CALL TO ACTION SATURDAY, MAY 24th
Antiqueer, transphobic, anti-reproductive healthcare hate tour MayDayUSA (deceptive name, right?!) is making a stop in Seattle to spread their bigotry and cry about queer people existing under the guise of a family-friendly event complete with free children’s haircuts. Community members and organizations are rallying to counter the event by celebrating our queerness and say no to hate. Seattle DSA’s Mobilization Committee is coordinating with multiple groups to give these bigoted astroturfers a proper Seattle welcome.
This is expected to be an all-day event at Cal Anderson Park. Specific location of the hate rally is TBD but indicators point to the Bobby Morris Playfields on the southern end of the park. A group of local musicians and artists are organizing a punk show at the skatepark on the southwest corner of the park (see attached image) and other actions will be occurring throughout the afternoon and evening in and around Cal Anderson. We will plan to stage our contingent adjacent to the skatepark starting at noon; look for the DSA banner or red flag. Double-check this calendar event the morning of for any change of plans.
Coalition organizations hope to keep this a peaceful counter demonstration. However, in lieu of the persons involved with MayDayUSA and their connections with far-right provocateurs, the Mobilization Committee is asking attendees to take some precautions:

Wear a mask to protect your identity and to keep your community safe from COVID and other airborne infections.
Bring earplugs or other hearing protection as a precaution.
Check the weather forecast the morning of and dress appropriately for the conditions.
Do not attend alone and have a buddy or small group, and never let anyone wander alone. Also have an agreed-on check-in time with someone not attending.
Continuously observe your surroundings and orientate yourself. Decide ahead of time where you and your friends or family will meet in the event of a dispersal order or emergency.
A police liaison will be on hand, so there is no reason to talk to police.
If you intend to be there all afternoon/evening, bring snacks and water.
Remember, we keep each other safe.

How should Socialists/the Left respond?

This Sunday, June 8, 5pm

RSVP
Luigi Mangioni, Jan 6, Trump assassination attempts, the shooting of Israeli Embassy staffers – Political violence is on the rise. Recent polls show a growing number of Americans think political violence is acceptable to achieve political goals. The failure of protests to stop the slaughter in Gaza, police brutality and the rise of Trump and the Right have led some to turn to violent acts out of frustration. Join us for a discussion on why democratic socialists oppose these acts of political violence and how the left and socialists can respond that builds mass movements and collective struggle to end the Israeli war on Gaza and the West Bank, police brutality, and more.
Join your friendly neighborhood socialists in District 3 in discussing these critical questions. All are welcome – even if you don’t live in District 3!
