DSA for Gallardo Phonebank to DSA members
2022-06-13 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.
Our first two phonebanks were very successful. Let’s repeat this on Monday June 13.
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 Zoom details.

DSA for Gallardo Phonebank to DSA members
2022-06-22 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.
Our phonebanks so far were very successful. Let’s repeat this on Wednesday June 22.
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.

D4/D5/Ecosocialism Reading Group
2022-06-23 18:30 - 20:00 | 2000 NE 58th St, Ravenna Park Picnic Shelter #1, 2000 NE 58th St, Seattle, 98105
On Thursday, June 23, we will be reading Feminism for the 99% by Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser. This manifesto makes a simple but powerful case: feminism shouldn’t start—or stop—with the drive to have women represented at the top of their professions. It must focus on those at the bottom, and fight for the world they deserve. And that means targeting capitalism. Feminism must be anti-capitalist, eco-socialist and antiracist.
Check the Slack channel for a PDF of the book, check it out of the Seattle Public Library, or order the book at https://www.versobooks.com/books/2924-feminism-for-the-99
This meeting will be held in-person for the first time in this reading group’s history! We’ll be meeting at Ravenna Park.
