Hands Off Seattle's Minimum Wage Canvass with RWU
2024-09-03 17:30 - 19:30 | Café on the Ave, 4201 University Way NE, Seattle, WA, 98105, United States
Restaurant lobbyists are pushing the Seattle mayor and City Council to permanently cut Seattle’s tipped workers’ wages in the coming weeks. Seattle became the first major city in the US to pass the $15 minimum wage in 2014, and many other cities have since followed suit. If the two-tiered wage system is preserved, it will embolden lobbyists in other cities to go after minimum wage legislation. Workers kept Seattle businesses afloat during the pandemic and continue to face steep cost of living increases year after year. For a city with 11 billionaires and over 50,000 millionaires, this raise for restaurant workers is long overdue.
Join Restaurant Workers United and Seattle DSA as we canvass restaurants in U District on Tuesday, September 3rd. RSVP here.
We’ll be meeting at Cafe on the Ave at 5:30 PM, along with DSA members postering for the fall Socialist Job Fair!

Seattle DSA’s Working Group SOS – Save Our Schools invites you to our meeting with speakers from the Social Equality Educators, the rank-and-file caucus at that time in Seattle’s Education Association, who fought against school closures in Seattle in 2009 that were almost all reversed, to help us draw some conclusions for our effort to stop the planned school closures in 2024. The plan to close 20 out of 70 elementary schools in Seattle for the school year 2025/26 is the largest attack on public education in the nation since the school closures in Chicago 2013.

The Socialist Job Fair exists to help socialists interested in learning and applying organizing techniques directly with people trying to unionize their workplace or organize their disorganized union shops.
So far a lot of work has been done (and continues to be done!) in effort to put up posters getting the word out about the Socialist Job Fair. We have about 40 people that have RSVP’d (with more to come) and our next step is to reach out to those folks by phone to vet them and field questions. This is an important step and we need your help!
The Labor Working Group will be hosting group phonebanking Tuesday the 17th starting at 3pm at the University Branch of the Seattle Public Library!

Scott stands with working people as an advocate for funding social housing through taxing rich corporations, curbing landlord profiteering through statewide rent control, and re-balancing the power differential between tenants and landlords through strong renter protections. Come hear Scott’s socialist vision for housing!

PROTEST Mass School Closures & Layoffs
2024-10-09 15:00 - 17:00 | John Stanford Center, 2445 3rd Ave S, Seattle
Seattle Public Schools is gearing up to close 20+ Elementary schools and layoff staff. This represents the largest school closure in the country and one of the biggest attacks on public education in decades. This coming at a time where the corporations that call Seattle home are experiencing stratospheric profits and the Seattle City Council has found $170 million in back pay for the police. Seattle DSA’s Save Our Schools is demanding to Tax the Rich and big business to fully fund education, lower classroom sizes and to support the Big 5 Plan for equitable and fully funded public schools.
To win this we need educators, support staff, Seattle Education Association, parents, students, and the broader community to come together to build a movement and pressure the Seattle School Board and the Democratic Party dominated Seattle City Council and Mayor to not go forward with these draconian cuts.
Join us on Wednesday, Oct 9, at 3pm at the Seattle School Board Meeting at the John Stanford Center (2445 3rd Ave S).

Social @Kate's Pub
2024-10-13 16:00 - 19:00 | Kate’s Pub, 309 NE 45th St, Seattle, WA, 98105, 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 7:00pm.

Please RSVP on this page so we have a rough idea of how many people to expect. Also, feel free to bring a friend. See you there!
* If you have an idea for making our socials more wonderful (eg. a musical performance, a potential venue, party favors, etc.) please get in touch with member-engagement@seattledsa.org and let us know!
