A Webinar on Capitalism\, Imperialism and Borders DESCRIPTION:Register: https://act.dsausa.org/signup/no-one-illegal-webinar-capitalism-imperialism-and-borders/ \nSponsor: Immigrant Rights Working Group – Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) \nBorders throughout the world have become sites of state violence\, racist discrimination\, and policing of workers freedom of movement.

DESCRIPTION:—-> RSVP HERE <—– \nNurses and healthcare workers at Swedish Medical Center are going on strike January 28 – 30! We encourage all Seattle DSA members who are able to stand with SEIU 1199NW in their fight for a fair contract that addresses severe under-staffing and prioritizes patient safety. To learn more about their strike\, please read this press release from SEIU 1199NW. Better yet\, join the picket line\, ask them about their fight\, and listen to their stories! \nIf you are able\, join the picket line on DAY ONE! The strike begins at 7 AM on Tuesday\, 01/28. The picket lines will run continuously at First Hill\, Cherry Hill\, Ballard\, Edmonds and Issaquah campuses. The picket lines at Redmond and Mill Creek will run from 7 AM to 7 PM. The Edmonds\, Redmond\, or Issaquah pickets in particular need support! \nIf you can’t join us at the march or on the picket line\, if you are able please consider donating to the Swedish Strike Solidarity fund. This fund will help support the workers on strike\, and is especially important for low wage workers who will be most impacted by the loss of pay. \nPicket Line Locations\nJoin any time! Lines are 24hrs per day.\nFirst Hill – 747 Broadway\, Seattle\, WA\nCherry Hill – 500 17th Ave\, Seattle\, WA\nBallard – 5300 Tallman Ave NW\, Seattle\, WA\nEdmonds – 21601 76th Ave W\, Edmonds\, WA\nIssaquah – 751 NE Blakely Dr\, Issaquah\, WA \nJoin between 7 AM and 7 PM.\nRedmond – 18100 NE Union Hill Rd\, Redmond\, WA\nMill Creek – 13020 Meridian Ave S\, Everett\, WA \nGuidelines for joining the picket line\n– We are showing up to support the workers. Ask questions and listen. We are there to support their labor action\, not to promote the chapter.\n– Respect the workers’ plan for the strike. Follow their directions and defer to them while on the line. For example\, learn their chants rather than trying to step in with one of your own.\n– Be aware of media presence. Do not speak on behalf of the workers – step back and let them speak for themselves. Do not speak on behalf of the chapter.\n– Be respectful and kind at all times. \nDonate to the Swedish Solidarity Fund if you are able.\nStay up-to-date by checking the SEIU 1199NW strike page \n—-> RSVP HERE <—– URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/seattle-dsa-stands-with-seiu-1199nw/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States CATEGORIES:Labor,New Member Friendly GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200128T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200128T210000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200113T055605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200113T055605Z UID:10005072-1580238000-1580245200@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Seattle DSA Local Council Virtual Meeting DESCRIPTION:The Local Council is the leadership body of Seattle DSA elected every year at our annual convention.

COVID19 D3 Organizing Next District 3 mtg DESCRIPTION:Join District 3 members to discuss… \nCOVID19 has unleashed a global economic and social catastrophe\, the devastating impact of which will be disproportionately borne by working people.  This comes on the backs of four decades of neoliberalism which meted out savage cuts to working people’s living standards to the point that 12% of the US population is in poverty (a family of 4 making $24\,000 a year)\, 40 million are without healthcare coverage\, and 40% of workers couldn’t absorb an unexpected bill of $400. \nAs COVID19 tightens its grip on society\, global stock markets have collapsed by 30%. Unemployment is soaring\, 10 million in the last 2 weeks\, and threatens to crest double digits\, as high as 20% according to Goldman Sachs. This will disproportionately impact women and people of color who make up the majority of low wage\, no benefits jobs\, and who are least likely to have paid sick leave. We don’t know what the full impact will be but what we do know is\, like the last crisis\, this will come down to who pays for the crisis\, working people or big business. \nHow did we get here? Are we headed towards a second Great Depression? We know that capitalism is to blame\, but how exactly?  What is capitalism? How are profits made? Who are the ruling class? And the working class? What’s the role of the state in all this? And how would socialism be any different? \nWe’ll also be discussing next steps in the Suspend the Rent! Campaign to pressure Gov. Inslee to decree and rent suspension/forgiveness. \nhttps://zoom.us/j/238193960 \nMeeting ID: 238 193 960 \n+16699009128 (San Jose) \n  URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/suspend-the-rent-covid19-d3-organizing-a-2nd-great-depression-or-worse-next-district-3-mtg/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200410 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200411 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200406T162043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200406T162043Z UID:10005313-1586476800-1586563199@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Suspend the Rent! Phone Zap DESCRIPTION:We need to suspend rents now! The covid-19 situation becomes both a housing crisis and a health crisis. Join us in phone zapping the Governor’s phonelines until he takes action on our demands. \nWhat do we mean by phone zap? We will be calling in to the Governor’s office in shifts. If we get through to somebody\, we will tell them our demands: suspend rents\, cancel late fees\, and use vacant property to house people experiencing homelessness. If we don’t get through\, we keep calling. We will do this in shifts throughout the day on Friday\, April 10th. \nThis makes it different from the typical advocacy\, in that it will put pressure on the Governor\, and force him to acknowledge our demands. \nWe invite you to join Seattle DSA\, Tacoma DSA\, Spokane DSA\, and SnoCo DSA\, and sign up for a shift making calls on FRIDAY\, APRIL 10th. Training and a sample script will be provided.

Rosa Luxemburg was an inspirational revolutionary leader\, socialist theoretician\, and tireless fighter for the working class right up until the moment when she was tragically murdered during the German Revolution. \nWhile Lenin and the Russian socialists faced brutal oppression which left little room for reformist hopes\, in Germany the situation was far different. The Social-Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) included labor unionists\, social democrats\, democratic socialists\, revolutionaries of all stripes\, and many who hoped that socialism could be achieved through a peaceful and democratic path. \nThe situation was made immeasurably more complex by the collapse of the 2nd International at the onset of the first World War\, as well as the Russian Revolution which followed shortly. In this confusing situation\, the clarity of thought and the fighting spirit of Rosa Luxemberg were completely unmatched. She expanded Marxist theory with important works on imperialism and economics and fought ceaselessly for social revolution. Ultimately\, she was betrayed and murdered on orders from reformist leaders of the SPD during the failed German Revolution. \nPaul Frölich\, the author\, was a contemporary and comrade of Red Rosa. While many would have settled for a simple hagiography\, his work takes a serious look at Rosa Luxemberg’s politics and the thinking behind it. In a time where the socialist left is once again at a crossroads between the dual pull of reformist and revolutionary tendencies\, Frölich’s work raises essential questions on the nature of capitalism and the road to socialist transformation. \nIn her famous work Reform or Revolution\, Rosa Luxemburg concluded that “Between social reforms and revolution there exists for an inseparable connection. The struggle for reforms is its means; the social revolution\, its aim.” This group is hosted by Seattle DSA District 2. All socialists in any place are welcome to join. \nFirst Meeting:\nMonday\, 4/13/2020\n5:00 to 6:30 PST\nReading: Chapter 1 and 2 required\, Introduction and Preface optional but strongly recommended\nVideo and voice chat at: https://chat.seattledsa.org/LuxemburgStudy \nFuture Meetings:\nWeekly meetings on Mondays\, although day of week and time are adjustable based on what works for comrades interested.\nReading expectation is 30 to 60 pages per week based on participants \nWant to help organize the meetings? We are happy to share the work of planning\, promoting\, chairing\, writing and giving the five to ten minute introduction\, or coming up with discussion questions. We will help and offer feedback for any comrade who wants to share the load.

PhoneZap 2 DESCRIPTION:We need to suspend rents now! The covid-19 situation becomes both a housing crisis and a health crisis. Join us in phone zapping the Governor’s phonelines until he takes action on our demands. \nWhat do we mean by phone zap? We will be calling in to the Governor’s office in shifts. If we get through to somebody\, we will tell them our demands: suspend rents\, increase tenant protections\, and use vacant property to house people experiencing homelessness. If we don’t get through\, we keep calling. We will do this in shifts throughout the day on Monday\, April 20th\, and\, if our demands aren’t met\, Friday\, April 24th. \nThis makes it different from the typical advocacy\, in that it will put pressure on the Governor\, and force him to acknowledge our demands. \nWe invite you to join Seattle DSA\, Tacoma DSA\, Spokane DSA\, and SnoCo DSA\, Whatcom DSA\, Olympia DSA and many working people in making these calls. Training and a sample script will be provided.

Rosa Luxemburg was an inspirational revolutionary leader\, socialist theoretician\, and tireless fighter for the working class right up until the moment when she was tragically murdered during the German Revolution. \nWhile Lenin and the Russian socialists faced brutal oppression which left little room for reformist hopes\, in Germany the situation was far different. The Social-Democratic Party of Germany  (SPD) included labor unionists\, social democrats\, democratic socialists\, revolutionaries of all stripes\, and many who hoped that socialism could be achieved through a peaceful and democratic path. \nThe situation was made immeasurably more complex by the collapse of the 2nd International at the onset of the first World War\, as well as the Russian Revolution which followed shortly. In this confusing situation\, the clarity of thought and the fighting spirit of Rosa Luxemberg were completely unmatched. She expanded Marxist theory with important works on imperialism and economics and fought ceaselessly for social revolution. Ultimately\, she was betrayed and murdered on orders from reformist leaders of the SPD during the failed German Revolution. \nPaul Frölich\, the author\, was a contemporary and comrade of Red Rosa. While many would have settled for a simple hagiography\, his work takes a serious look at Rosa Luxemberg’s politics and the thinking behind it. In a time where the socialist left is once again at a crossroads between the dual pull of reformist and revolutionary tendencies\, Frölich’s work raises essential questions on the nature of capitalism and the road to socialist transformation. \nIn her famous work Reform or Revolution\, Rosa Luxemburg concluded that “Between social reforms and revolution there exists for an inseparable connection. The struggle for reforms is its means; the social revolution\, its aim.” This group is hosted by Seattle DSA District 2. All socialists in any place are welcome to join. \nReading: Chapter 3 required \nMeet time: 5:00 to 6:30 PST \nhttps://zoom.us/j/94759328597 \nMeeting ID: 947 5932 8597 \nAgenda \n5:30 – 5:40 Introductions and current events \n5:40 – 5:50 Summary of the reading by our volunteers\n5:50 – 6:50 Main discussion \n6:50 – 7:00 Planning the next meeting \n  \nQuestions? email the organizer at robertclambertz@gmail.com \n \n  \n  URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/14992/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200423T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200423T170000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200420T233919Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200423T031933Z UID:10005336-1587628800-1587661200@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:COVID19 Crisis: What is a Socialist Feminist View and Response? Next District 3 DESCRIPTION:Politicians like to say that we are all in this together\, that this crisis hits rich and poor alike\, and while we know this virus will strike any and all\, we also know that working people will face the brunt of the crisis and will be forced to pay for it long after its gone. We also know that within the working class\, women and people of color are and will continue to be disproportionately impacted.  From being on the frontlines as essential workers\, to the main caregiver to the family\, to experiencing spikes in domestic violence – women\, and in particular women of color\, are impacted by the crisis in a uniquely terrible way. \nJoin District 3 members to discuss\, how and why are women disproportionately impacted by the economic and social catastrophe of coronavirus?  Why are women oppressed under capitalism? What does this tell us about capitalism? How would socialism be different? What socialist feminist demands for COVID19 relief could DSA make?  \nWe’ll also discuss COVID19 Organizing in District 3\, Suspend the Rent!

Meanwhile\, landlords are raising rents\, politicians are enriching themselves through insider trading\, and big corporations are benefitting from the bailout package. A critical question the economic crisis poses is: who is going to pay for this crisis\, working people or big business?   \nJoin District 3 members to discuss these campaigns and how we can build a movement to win concrete victories on rent and other badly needed reforms. We’ll also be continuing our discussion on organizing in District 3 and how we do that. \n** Please check the District 3 SDSA slack channel for Zoom info. Or text 402-915-1242.

Rosa Luxemburg was an inspirational revolutionary leader\, socialist theoretician\, and tireless fighter for the working class right up until the moment when she was tragically murdered during the German Revolution. \nWhile Lenin and the Russian socialists faced brutal oppression which left little room for reformist hopes\, in Germany the situation was far different. The Social-Democratic Party of Germany  (SPD) included labor unionists\, social democrats\, democratic socialists\, revolutionaries of all stripes\, and many who hoped that socialism could be achieved through a peaceful and democratic path. \nThe situation was made immeasurably more complex by the collapse of the 2nd International at the onset of the first World War\, as well as the Russian Revolution which followed shortly. In this confusing situation\, the clarity of thought and the fighting spirit of Rosa Luxemberg were completely unmatched. She expanded Marxist theory with important works on imperialism and economics and fought ceaselessly for social revolution. Ultimately\, she was betrayed and murdered on orders from reformist leaders of the SPD during the failed German Revolution. \nPaul Frölich\, the author\, was a contemporary and comrade of Red Rosa. While many would have settled for a simple hagiography\, his work takes a serious look at Rosa Luxemberg’s politics and the thinking behind it. In a time where the socialist left is once again at a crossroads between the dual pull of reformist and revolutionary tendencies\, Frölich’s work raises essential questions on the nature of capitalism and the road to socialist transformation. \nIn her famous work Reform or Revolution\, Rosa Luxemburg concluded that “Between social reforms and revolution there exists for an inseparable connection. The struggle for reforms is its means; the social revolution\, its aim.” This group is hosted by Seattle DSA District 2. All socialists in any place are welcome to join. \nReading: Chapter 6 required \nMeet time: 5:30 to 7:00 PST \nhttps://zoom.us/j/94759328597 \nMeeting ID: 947 5932 8597 \nAgenda \n5:30 – 5:40 Introductions and current events \n5:40 – 5:50 Summary of the reading by our volunteers\n5:50 – 6:50 Main discussion \n6:50 – 7:00 Planning the next meeting \n  \nQuestions? email the organizer at robertclambertz@gmail.com \n \n  \n  URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/14992-2020-04-27/2020-05-04/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200508T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200508T190000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200505T222605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200505T222718Z UID:10005355-1588959000-1588964400@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Teamster Rebellion: District 3 Reading Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Join District 3 members to discus Chapters 4-7 of Teamster Rebellion. \n“Teamster Rebellion” is the dynamic story of  one of the most important strikes in modern labor history\, from one of the main organizers.

Meanwhile\, Jeff Bezos’ wealth increased by $15 billion in April\, landlords are raising rents\, politicians are enriching themselves through insider trading\, and big corporations are benefitting from the bailout package. A critical question the economic crisis poses is: who is going to pay for this crisis\, working people or big business?   \nRight now Seattle DSA\, under the banner Green New Homes\, is actively involved in the Tax Amazon coalition and movement and is currently preparing to ramp up petition signature gathering to get Tax Amazon on the ballot in November. \nJust yesterday the majority of the Seattle City Council\, led by Counncilmembers Herbold\, Mosqueda\, and Gonzalez essentiallY killed the Tax Amazon legislation by Sawant and Morales that would have taxed Amazon and other big corporations to help struggling working people pay rent and other vital life expenses. \nSo it’s critical we do our part to get the 30\,000 signatures needed to get Tax Amazon on the ballot. \nJoin District 5 members to discuss this development in the Tax Amazon campaign and how we can help build the movement needed to win.\n \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81047149675 \nMeeting ID: 810 4714 9675 \n+12532158782 (Tacoma) \n  URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/renters-rising-from-tax-amazon-to-rent-suspension-next-district-5-mtg/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200509T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200509T163000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200506T012647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200508T212305Z UID:10005356-1589034600-1589041800@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Tax Amazon for Green New Homes Committee Emergency Meeting DESCRIPTION:Since January\, the Tax Amazon coalition has been fighting for Seattle to pass a tax on the 800 richest corporations to provide immediate financial aid to the 100\,000 Seattleites most in need and to fund the construction of union-built green housing and home retrofitting. On Thursday though\, three Democrat Seattle City Councilmembers shelved the bill the Tax Amazon coalition has been fighting for. The Council’s decision is a wake-up call that we need to ramp up pressure on them by preparing to take this matter directly to the voters — and we need all SDSA members’ help to go all out to collect the required signatures by July 1st. \nJoin the Seattle DSA Tax Amazon/Green New Homes Committee Saturday\, May 9\, to discuss what these recent events mean for our movement and strategize together how we move forward. Winning a big business tax for green housing is not only vital for Seattle’s working class\, but is an important step toward winning a Green New Deal. This is how we build our power\, get organized\, and raise expectations! \nWe’ve sent out the ballot petition to all of our Seattle DSA members. On Saturday\, after discussing this week’s events\, we will text and phone bank our members to make sure they received the ballot petition and ask them to sign on and share with their family and friends. Please read Seattle DSA’s press statement\, which we just sent to the media\, for more details and join us on Saturday! \nCome to our emergency committee meeting to: \n\nDiscuss the City Council’s hypocritical shelving of the Tax Amazon legislation and strategize how we build our pressure and take matters directly to the voters.\nPrepare for upcoming events\, like the action conference on May 16.\nText and phone bank Seattle DSA members to make sure they send in their ballot petition and share it with family and friends.\nDiscuss other creative ideas for collecting signatures and building this campaign\n\nZoom link can be found on the Tax Amazon channel on Seattle DSA slack if you are a member\, or by registering here.

Join the Queer & Feminist caucus for our Zoom happy hours and discussions on labor history. We want to explore the rich history of women and queer folks in the US labor movement together!  \nRSVP here and we’ll send you the link!  \nThis week we’ll learn about the Pawtucket Mill Strike in Pawtucket\, Rhode Island. It was the first textile strike in the US\, and was primarily organized by women. We’ll learn from and about our comrades who fought for us\, drawing lessons for the organizing opportunities that present themselves in the time of COVID-19 and beyond.  \nOptional reading here! \nEach week we’ll discuss a different historical event\, through the eyes of those on the ground (when material is available). Don’t worry\, readings will be short\, interesting\, and optional — or sometimes in the form of movies or music! We’ll follow the labor movement in chronological order\, because we think this gives us a fuller view of the changing conditions in US society. Feel free to pop-in for one or another\, but we encourage you to come as much as you can\, and create this (for now\, virtual) community with us.

How can we take on big business and win? Next District 3 Mtg DESCRIPTION:This past week three Democrats on the Seattle City Council shelved the bill our coalition has been fighting for to tax Amazon and the 800 richest corporations in Seattle to provide immediate Covid economic relief to the 100\,000 people in Seattle most in need. It would also fund the construction of union-built\, green\, social housing and environmental retrofitting of homes starting next year. \nIt’s clear\, if we want to tax big business we’re going to need to take this to the ballot. \nJoin District 3 members to discuss what the Tax Amazon / Green New Homes Campaign is\, how we can build a movement to tax big business\, what’s the role of the Democratic Party in the fight over taxing Amazon and wider reforms\, and what can we do in District 3 to win an Amazon Tax for Covid Relief & Green New Homes? \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87899859618 \nMeeting ID: 878 9985 9618 \n+12532158782 (Tacoma) URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/tax-amazon-green-new-homes-campaign-is-heating-up-how-can-we-take-on-big-business-and-win-next-district-3-mtg/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States CATEGORIES:New Member Friendly GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200515T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200515T190000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200514T201211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200514T201211Z UID:10004255-1589563800-1589569200@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Teamster Rebellion: District 3 Reading Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Join District 3 members to discus Chapters 8-10 of Teamster Rebellion. \n“Teamster Rebellion” is the dynamic story of  one of the most important strikes in modern labor history\, from one of the main organizers. The Teamsters strike in Minneapolis in 1934 was an all out war between the workers and the entire ruling class\, their corporate media\, armed thugs\, and the police. The National Guard was even mobilized! And the union drive and strike was led by socialists! And the workers won! Their victory set the standard for militancy\, rank and file democracy\, and how socialists can effectively engage in the labor movement\, and more!  And the gains they won inspired other enormous gains for working people through struggle and\, not for nothing\, the contract they won set the standard for the next 70 years!  This struggle is rich with lessons for us now as we enter a period that will be inflamed with the potential to build the socialist movement! \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84509012329 URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/teamster-rebellion-district-3-reading-discussion-group-3/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200516T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200516T170000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200516T143045Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200516T143053Z UID:10004261-1589616000-1589648400@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Covid19 Action Meeting DESCRIPTION:In these action meetings\, we will discuss our current pressure campaign to cancel rent. \nWe have a number of action proposals which we will debate and plan. \nFinally\, we will plan out future actions for the campaign and determine action items. \nZoom Info: Check Slack!

Rosa Luxemburg was an inspirational revolutionary leader\, socialist theoretician\, and tireless fighter for the working class right up until the moment when she was tragically murdered during the German Revolution. \nWhile Lenin and the Russian socialists faced brutal oppression which left little room for reformist hopes\, in Germany the situation was far different. The Social-Democratic Party of Germany  (SPD) included labor unionists\, social democrats\, democratic socialists\, revolutionaries of all stripes\, and many who hoped that socialism could be achieved through a peaceful and democratic path. \nThe situation was made immeasurably more complex by the collapse of the 2nd International at the onset of the first World War\, as well as the Russian Revolution which followed shortly. In this confusing situation\, the clarity of thought and the fighting spirit of Rosa Luxemberg were completely unmatched. She expanded Marxist theory with important works on imperialism and economics and fought ceaselessly for social revolution. Ultimately\, she was betrayed and murdered on orders from reformist leaders of the SPD during the failed German Revolution. \nPaul Frölich\, the author\, was a contemporary and comrade of Red Rosa. While many would have settled for a simple hagiography\, his work takes a serious look at Rosa Luxemberg’s politics and the thinking behind it. In a time where the socialist left is once again at a crossroads between the dual pull of reformist and revolutionary tendencies\, Frölich’s work raises essential questions on the nature of capitalism and the road to socialist transformation. \nIn her famous work Reform or Revolution\, Rosa Luxemburg concluded that “Between social reforms and revolution there exists for an inseparable connection. The struggle for reforms is its means; the social revolution\, its aim.” This group is hosted by Seattle DSA District 2. All socialists in any place are welcome to join. \nReading: Chapter 6 required \nMeet time: 5:30 to 7:00 PST \nhttps://zoom.us/j/94759328597 \nMeeting ID: 947 5932 8597 \nAgenda \n5:30 – 5:40 Introductions and current events \n5:40 – 5:50 Summary of the reading by our volunteers\n5:50 – 6:50 Main discussion \n6:50 – 7:00 Planning the next meeting \n  \nQuestions? email the organizer at robertclambertz@gmail.com \n \n  \n  URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/14992-2020-04-27/2020-05-18/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200519T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200519T183000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200517T195559Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200517T195559Z UID:10004259-1589909400-1589913000@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Tax Amazon for Green New Homes Committee Meeting & Phone Bank DESCRIPTION:Background \nSince January\, the Tax Amazon coalition has been fighting for Seattle to pass a tax on the 800 richest corporations to provide immediate covid relief to Seattleites and to fund the construction of union-built green housing and home retrofitting\, putting thousands of people back to work after covid. The recent move by the City Council to delay discussing this legislation means we can’t rely on them to stand up to big business. We need to go all out to get the Amazon tax for green homes and green jobs on the November ballot and take the matter directly to the voters! Seattle DSA’s campaign as part of the Tax Amazon coalition is called Green New Homes because that’s what we’re fighting for. We have until approximately July 1 to help the coalition collect 21k valid signatures. \nThis Tuesday: Committee Meeting and Phone Bank \nWe’ve sent the ballot petition to every Seattle DSA member (didn’t get yours? Fill out this form). Now we need to follow up and make sure all our comrades sign the petition\, get others in their household to sign\, and send it back. \nOn Tuesday we’ll talk game plan for the next several weeks of our campaign: \n\n“Amazon Tax Prime” petition and delivery service\, an effort of the Tax Amazon coalition\nDistrict group phone banks and organizing\nInterstate banner drops\nNeighborhood postering\nDistrict community forums\n\nAnd then continue phone banking SDSA members to follow up with them about the ballot petition. \nIf you’re interested in getting involved in Tax Amazon for Green New Homes\, this is a great meeting to come to! \nFind the zoom link on slack (Tax Amazon committee channel) if you’re an SDSA member\, or register here. \nQuestions? email info@GreenNewHomes.org URL:https://seattledsa.org/event/tax-amazon-for-green-new-homes-committee-meeting-phone-bank/ LOCATION:Eightball Cafe in Everett\, 2727 Colby Ave\, Everett\, WA\, United States CATEGORIES:Activism,Green New Deal,New Member Friendly,Tax Amazon GEO:37.09024;-95.712891 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Eightball Cafe in Everett 2727 Colby Ave Everett WA United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2727 Colby Ave:geo:-95.712891,37.09024 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200519T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200519T193000 DTSTAMP:20230610T180801 CREATED:20200516T211658Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200516T225110Z UID:10004262-1589913000-1589916600@seattledsa.org SUMMARY:Covid Is the Newest Excuse for Police Brutality Next District 5 mtg DESCRIPTION:Join SDSA District 5 for a discussion on police brutality this Tues\, May 19th 6:30pm.  \nAs long as there have been police\, there has been police brutality\, but the death of Trayvon Martin in 2012 and subsequent founding of the Black Lives Matter movement the following year served as an eye opener to many on just how deep the problem runs.
