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.

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!

SDSA Social! (Fremont)
2024-05-04 14:00 - 16:30 | The Dock Bar and Grill, 1102 N 34th St, Seattle, WA, 98103, 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.
RSVP HERE
If you want to make a day of it, there’s also the Shaun Scott campaign kick-off canvass nearby right before this event — two great tastes that taste great together! More info on that can be found on the Seattle DSA calendar, and you can RSVP for the Shaun Scott Kickoff here.
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’ll be around till at least 4pm.

Please RSVP HERE so we have a rough idea of how many people to expect. Feel free to bring a friend. See you there!
*Please note the address listed is not the exact address, just a location nearby. We will send the exact address via email and text the day of the event. Thanks for your understanding.

Report from Rojava
2024-05-12 16:00 - 18:00 | Southside Commons, 3518 S Edmunds St, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
Celebrate Mother’s Day this year by joining us in Seattle for a special event about women’s revolution!
Report from Rojava: Women’s Revolution, Direct Democracy & Social Ecology in North-East Syria will take place Sunday, May 12th @ 4pm, at Southside Commons, as part of the Emergency Committee for Rojava’s 2024 West Coast speaking tour featuring Debbie Bookchin and Arthur Pye.
After nearly twelve years, despite a relentless war of aggression waged by Turkey and ISIS, the Kurdish freedom movement, alongside the other diverse peoples of North-East Syria, continue to build and defend a sweeping social revolution rooted in the principles of direct-democracy, women’s liberation, cooperative economics, cultural pluralism and social ecology.
How is society being organized in Rojava? What are the revolution’s achievements and challenges? How did this movement transform chaos into social revolution, and what lessons could we apply to organizing our own local communities?
Join us as we discuss what is happening in Rojava, why it matters, and how we can stand in solidarity.
The Emergency Committee for Rojava is proud to be partnering with the Institute for Social Ecology (ISE), Democratic Socialists of America – Libertarian Socialist Caucus (DSA-LSC), and the Oil & Gas Action Network (OGAN) as co-sponsors of this tour. Additionally, the Seattle event will be co-sponsored by Seattle Democratic Socialists of America, PNW AANES Solidarity, and University of Washington’s Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies.
Admission is FREE to the public.

Phonebank for Shaun Scott
2024-05-15 18:00 - 19:30
SeattleDSA is hosting a virtual phonebank for Shaun Scott, and we need your help!
SeattleDSA member and endorsed candidate Shaun Scott now has an opponent in the race: Andrea Suarez, the founder of We Heart Seattle, a non-profit which has frequently been accused of its anti-homelessness practices. We need to get the word out to SeattleDSA members and win this election!
We’ll be contacting fellow SeattleDSA members to get the word out, and get more people involved in Shaun’s campaign. Our team will be using a web-based dialer. Ensure a stable internet connection and mobile phone connection for easy dialing!
What should I bring?
Zoom link provided upon RSVP. Recommended to login via tablet, computer or laptop in order to free up your phone for dialing. Using a web-based dialer, you will only have to call in once, and the dialer does the rest in reaching you to fellow SeattleDSA members. Privacy is our utmost priority, personal phone numbers will not appear on Caller ID for residents.

We’ll start with a quick training prior to calling 10-15 minutes after the start of the meeting. First-time phonebanking friendly!

RSVP here for zoom link!
