If you are still interested in joining the SF-East Bay joint trip to the Oakland B’s baseball game, it’s not too late! All you need to do is buy yourself a ticket here for a Third Base GA ticket. The GA tickets are “first come-first serve open bench seating” – the organizer will get there early to reserve a section of bench. If you can’t afford a ticket just let us know and that will be covered for you.

Extreme Dean Door-Knocking Mobilization This Pride Sunday!

Join us this Sunday, June 30th for a door-knocking mobilization in Alamo Square park at 10:00 a.m. Every year, corporate Pride on Sunday is lame. This year, it’s more than just lame—it’s BOYCOTTED by queer and Palestinian community organizers because of its corporate and Zionist sponsors. So instead of going to the parade, we’re holding a mobilization to tell renters in District 5 about all the amazing tenant protections Dean and the DSA have fought so hard to win. And, if you’re trying to catch Dean at Pride events this weekend, you can join him on Thursday (6/27) from 5:00 p.m. – 7 p.m. at the 2024 Annual Trans March in San Francisco at Dolores Park!

Chapter Movie Night: Spaces of Exception

The DSA SF Palestine Solidarity and Anti-Imperialist Working Group is hosting a film screening of Spaces of Exception on Friday, July 12th at 7:30 p.m. Spaces of Exception is an American Indian- and Palestinian-focused documentary that investigates and juxtaposes the struggles, communities, and spaces of the American Indian reservation and the Palestinian refugee camp. We’d love it if you could make it!

The screening will be hosted at the DSA SF office at 1916 McAllister St. This is a sober event and masks are required, except when eating or drinking. There is a $10 recommended donation at the door which will go directly to the filmmakers. Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. RSVP below. See you there!

Battle of Algiers, Friday, June 7th. Starts at 6:00 p.m., 1916 McAllister St. RSVP: DSASF.org/Algiers

Chapter Movie Night: The Battle of Algiers 🍿

On Friday, June 7, join us for a film screening of Battle of Algiers. Battle of Algiers isn’t just a re-enactment of historical events but a powerful portrayal of the struggle for independence and the resilience of the occupied fighting against the occupier. It focuses on Algerian revolutionary fighter Ali La Ponte and his fight against the French occupation forces in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria, from 1954 to 1957 during the Algerian War of Independence. This film showing is as timely as ever as the fight for liberation continues in Palestine. This film was directed by an Italian communist who led the anti-fascist resistance against Nazi Germany and also had an actual FLN leader play as one of the characters, making this one of the most classic anti-imperialist films to date.

Food and drinks will be provided. Masks are highly recommended.
