Events & Actions
Emergency Protest TODAY: All Out for Lebanon!
There is an emergency protest today (Tuesday, 9/24) at 6:00 p.m. at the SF Federal Building at 90 7th St. in response to Israel’s attack on Lebanon this week.
Heavy Israeli air raids have killed 324 people, including 24 children, and seriously injured over 1,200 people. In response, the Bay Area is mobilizing a protest to show our solidarity with Lebanon and the Lebanese people, demand an end to Israel’s violence and escalation in the Middle East, and an end to the United States’ ongoing complicity in Israeli war crimes.
Palestine and Socialism Study Group
Looking to learn more about the history of the Palestinian liberation struggle with like-minded comrades? Been skeptical about whether socialist theory has anything to offer to the movement? Join DSA SF’s Palestine Solidarity and Anti-Imperialist Working Group on Thursday, September 26 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss these questions and more.
This event is the 2nd of 3 sessions in this series. In the last session, we covered some of the historical realities that underpin the Zionist movement and the establishment of the state of Israel.
This session will focus on frameworks outlined in Lenin’s Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism and The Right of Nations to Self Determination. Join us in a political discussion about how these frameworks can inform the current movement to liberate Palestine from the river to the sea.
This will be a hybrid event at 1916 McAllister St and on Zoom.

Door Knock with the Jackie Fielder Campaign This Sunday!
Come door knock with the Jackie Team this Sunday, September 29th from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Holly Park (Holly Circle and Bocana) and get out the word out about her campaign! We’ll be talking with our neighbors in D9 about what makes Jackie great and stacking voter IDs. Come out and help us get a socialist elected to represent District 9!
No Appetite for Apartheid in SF!
Inspired by long-standing Palestinian boycott tactics and the BDS call, the Palestine Solidarity Anti-Imperialist Working Group are canvassing local stores and asking them to pledge to become Apartheid-Free by dropping products from companies complicit in the genocide of Palestinians and colonization of Palestine. It’s time to turn up the heat on this apartheid regime and take apartheid off our plates!
Want to show your support? Sign our Apartheid-Free Pledge so business owners know how popular this movement is with their local customers. After signing the pledge, we would love to see you at any of our upcoming campaign strategy sessions and canvassing days. Check dev.dsasf.org/events for updates.
Benefit Concert for Gaza
Join your DSA SF comrades and our coalition partners on Saturday, October 5th at a benefit concert for Gaza, in support of the steadfastness of the Palestinian people facing this ongoing genocide. This will be a night of Palestinian art and culture, with performances by Ramzi Aburedwan & his Dalouna Ensemble featuring Ouday Al Khatib. All proceeds of the event will be donated to the Middle Eastern Children’s Alliance (MECA). MECA has been instrumental in providing emergency assistance to families who have fled their homes. Discounted early bird tickets are available until this Friday!
Behind the Scenes
The Chapter Coordination Committee (CCC) regularly rotates duties among chapter members. This allows us to train new members in key duties that help keep the chapter running like organizing chapter meetings, keeping records updated, office cleanup, updating the DSA SF website and newsletter, etc. Members can view current CCC rotations.
