BIG Rally to Defend Reproductive Rights!
2022-05-14 11:00 - 13:00 | Cal Anderson Park, Seattle, WA, 98122, United States
A majority of the Supreme Court recently made clear they plan to overturn Roe v Wade, which will allow most states in the country to ban the right to choose an abortion. Planned Parenthood and its allies have called a National Day of Action to protest this Saturday, May 14th. It is expected to be LARGE. You don’t want to miss this. Invite your friends!
However, Planned Parenthood’s solution is often just “vote for Democrats,” which has proven insufficient for stopping this threat to our rights. The Democrats currently control the White House, House, and Senate, and yet they have failed to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v Wade into law. Nor have they expanded the Supreme Court to put a progressive majority on the court. These are just some of the many reasons why we need to build the socialist working-class wing of the feminist movement and attract more people to join DSA.
-Sign up HERE to be part of the Socialist Feminist Contingent this SATURDAY May 14th 11am at Cal Anderson Park. Come early to help us assemble picket signs and set up our literature table. Find us by looking for the big yellow DSA socialist feminist banner (see yellow image above)! We will also post our tabling location on the Slack bulletin board Saturday morning. We also could use help collecting signatures for the social housing ballot initiative, Stephanie Gallardo’s campaign, and Whole WA healthcare for all campaign!
And put Saturday May 21st at 5pm on your calendar for a follow-up Socialist Feminist DSA meeting to talk about next steps.
The Planned Parenthood event page says “The time and location of this event is subject to change. You will receive more event details (Date/time, program, march routes, etc) as we get closer to the event date.”

Care Not Cops - Keep SPOG out of MLK Labor
2022-05-18 17:00 - 20:00 | Seattle Central College, 1701 Broadway, Seattle, WA, 98122, United States
Two years ago, MLK Labor Council became independent of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, allowing them to stand for all workers, including those victimized by police violence & killings. On May 18th, 5-8 PM at the Seattle Central College South Lawn, some labor leaders want to undo this victory of the 2020 uprising for black lives.
Join rank-and-file workers & union members coming together to say “Keep SPOG Out!”
We’ll have:

rank-and-file speakers
Potluck dinner
Labor solidarity movie screening

Police protect private property of the rich, and keep black and brown labor hyper-exploited. Policing & incarceration has never and will never reduce crime.
Hear from fellow workers about a vision of public safety that’s rooted in having basic needs met like housing, food, education, & transit.
Sign the petition and join us in person to show the MLK Labor Council that rank-and-file workers stand together in solidarity to keep SPOG out. All workers & students are welcome.
Petition: https://forms.gle/HvSF2xs1phPtd2Hx5

Socialist Feminist Reproductive Rights Planning Meeting
2022-05-21 17:00 - 19:00 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
The Supreme Court made clear they plan to overturn Roe v Wade, which would enable most states in the country to ban the right to choose an abortion. Planned Parenthood and its allies have organized some protests, which we mobilized for, but Planned Parenthood’s message is often just “vote for Democrats,” which has proven insufficient for stopping this threat to our rights.
The Democrats currently control the White House, House, and Senate, and they failed twice to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would codify Roe v Wade into law. Obama promised to pass similar legislation but failed to deliver, despite having a filibuster-proof majority in Congress.
Nor have the Democrats exercised their power to expand the Supreme Court to put a progressive majority on the court.
These are just some of the reasons why we need to build the socialist working-class wing of the feminist movement and attract more people to join DSA.
Sign up HERE to get notified about upcoming socialist feminist activities and to receive the Zoom link for this meeting! Please mark your calendar and invite friends. We will discuss and organize the next steps for our work. Ideas so far include mobilizing and preparing for more protests, a public meeting, and a fundraiser for abortion access.

DSA for Gallardo Phonebank to DSA members
2022-05-26 18:00 - 20:00 | On Zoom, WA, United States
DSA has selected the Stephanie Gallardo for Congress as one of 3 priority campaigns for 2022.
As part of that selection, we in DSA committed to raise thousands of dollars for the campaign, to offset a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of dollars that the incumbent has received from weapons manufacturers.
We are kicking this off with our first phonebank to DSA members on Thursday May 26.
We will gather at 6 on Zoom and start with a quick training on the script and the use of our CallHub phonebanking software — so please try to be on time! We will then make calls to fellow DSA members for 60-90 minutes before re-convening for a wrap-up.
While Stephanie’s campaign is primarily run via volunteer energy and dedication, we still do need money to pay our campaign manager and (hopefully) a future field organizer, print yard signs and other materials, and try to reach voters in other ways.
Calling DSA members for a DSA priority campaign is some of the easiest phonebanking you will ever do! Even if you are not comfortable calling strangers, please give it a try — you will be pleasantly surprised.
RSVP here for meeting details.
After you RSVP, please go to https://callhub.io/ and create an account for yourself if you don’t have one already.

D4/D5/Ecosocialism Reading Group
2022-05-26 18:30 - 20:00 | Eightball Cafe in Everett, 2727 Colby Ave, Everett, WA, United States
On Thursday, May 26 we will be reading the last three chapters of Creating an Ecological Society: Toward a Revolutionary Transformation by Fred Magdoff and Chris Williams. Creating an Ecological Society reveals an overwhelmingly simple truth: Fighting for reforms is vital, but revolution is essential. Because it aims squarely at replacing capitalism with an ecologically sound and socially just society, Creating an Ecological Society is filled with revolutionary hope. Fred Magdoff and Chris Williams, who have devoted their lives to activism, Marxist analysis, and ecological science, provide informed, fascinating accounts of how a new world can be created from the ashes of the old. Their book shows that it is possible to envision and create a society that is genuinely democratic, equitable, and ecologically sustainable.
Check the reading group Slack channel or text Denise at 206-276-6063 for a link to the reading.
Zoom link for the meeting: https://washington.zoom.us/j/91708325322
New members are always welcome! Join us! Many areas of practice will be addressed and tied into the struggle to create an Ecosocialist society.
