Protest Boeing’s War Profiteer Extravaganza (A&DSS)
2024-03-12 12:00 - 14:00 | Seatte Convntion Center, Jim Ellis Plaza in Freeway Park, 1300 Hubbell Place, Seattle, 98101, United States
Join Seattle DSA and over 60 other local grassroots organizations to protest Boeing’s annual Aerospace & Defense Supplier Summit (A&DSS). The location will be at Freeway Park at noon on Tuesday by the Palestinian flag.
Boeing makes the majority of its $60+ billion in annual revenues from defense contracts, including one for 1,800 missile targeting kits Israel uses to bomb Gaza. The war has killed or wounded over a hundred thousand Gazans (over five percent of Gaza’s total population) and left the majority of the surviving population at immediate risk of starvation unless a ceasefire is implemented.
As Washingtonians, our federal, state, and even local taxes subsidize Boeing’s support for Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. Make your voice heard and stand with the people of Gaza by demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an end to US military aid to Israel, and an end to the US war on Yemen.
RSVP Here for last-minute updates.

RSVP HERE
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.
If you want to make a day of it, there’s also a big canvassing event for I-137 nearby right before this event — two great tastes that taste great together! More info on that here.
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 board games / political discussion / board games 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 4pm.

Please RSVP on this page so we have a rough idea of how many people to expect. 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!

Labor Matinee: Unrest with UAW 4121
2024-04-13 12:00 - 14:00 | Grand Illusion Cinema, 101 NE 50th St, Seattle, WA, United States
Join Seattle DSA and UAW 4121 for a screening of Unrest at the Grand Illusion Cinema! The quiet countryside of 19th century Switzerland conceals the complex movements of labor and capital, as a young Pyotr Kropotkin meets the anarchists among the local workers. Far from the factory floors, dark mines, or open fields generally shown in labor films, the workshops of the watchmakers give us a look at a unique sort of workplace — even if the issues are all too familiar.
Enjoy some free popcorn!
Suggested donation: $5
This is a private screening for DSA and UAW members. There will be a social immediately afterwards at the Big Time Brewery just down the street, so we encourage you to attend both!
RSVP here.

Seattle DSA Social! (University District)
2024-04-13 14:00 - 16:00 | Big Time Brewery & Alehouse, 4133 University Way NE, 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.

Note — this event is right after a film screening at the nearby Grand Illusion Cinema — we encourage you to attend both!

What to expect:

There will be folks to greet you when you arrive and all the DSA tables will be clearly marked.
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 have the room reserved until 4, but people will likely stick around.
Please RSVP HERE so we have a rough idea of how many people to expect. Also, feel free to bring a friend. See you there!
