ICE Out of SF Courts!

Join neighbors, activists, grassroots organizations in resisting ICE abductions happening at immigration court hearings! ICE is taking anyone indiscriminately in order to meet their daily quotas. Many of those taken include people with no removal proceedings.

We’ll be meeting every Tuesday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery. We need all hands on deck. The 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM window is when we most need to boost turnout, but if you can’t make that please come whenever works for you. 1 or 2 hours or the entire time! We’re also holding orientation sessions for folks, but that is not required to attend. See the 🐣 Immigrant Justice Court Action Orientation event for more details.


Keep Market Street Moving

Today, November 18!

Join us for  a rally and petition delivery at 12:00 PM and public comment shortly around 1:00 PM. RSVP here.

🗳 DSA From NY to SF: Our Time to Win

New York City didn’t elect Zohran Mamdani overnight. NYC DSA spent years building coalitions, training members, and forging a socialist path in NY’s halls of power.

But DSA SF is no stranger to this work. Join us on Thursday, Nov 20 for DSA From NY to SF: Our Time to Win. You’ll get a crash course on how electoral politics work in SF and how socialists can tap in. We’ll be joined by two DSA members: D9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder and former D5 Supervisor Dean Preston!

Let’s keep building the movement that can win our own Zohran-scale victories.

Labor Movie Night: Finally Got the News

📰 HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? 📰 On Friday, November 21 at 7:00 PM at 1916 McAllister St, DSA SF’s Labor Board is showing FINALLY GOT THE NEWS, a documentary on the League of Revolutionary Black Workers working in the auto factories of Detroit. Through interviews with the members of the movement and footage shot in the auto plants, the film documents their efforts to build an independent black labor organization that, unlike the UAW, will respond to worker’s problems, such as the assembly line speed-up and inadequate wages faced by both black and white workers in the industry. Join us for a screening and discussion about how we can learn from the revolutionary workers who came before us!
RSVP here!

Our next consumer pledge canvass will be on Sunday, November 23 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the Clement Street Farmers Market! We’ll meet at Clement and Arguello (by Breck’s). Let’s have a strong close for 2025 and build support for an apartheid-free SF!

Come prepared to get your hands dirty! RSVP here. More info on Hummingbird Farm is available on their website.


🚊 Join DSA SF in Demanding Equitable Transit Funding

In response to Mayor Lurie’s office considering a parcel tax to address the Muni funding crisis, we joined Muni Now, Muni Forever, a coalition of community advocates and organizations, in demanding that the measure:

  • Generate enough revenue to expand Muni service by 10%
  • Be structured fairly, with a variable rate so smaller properties pay less and larger properties pay more
  • Protect tenants from additional costs
  • Scale with inflation and rising costs to prevent a similar crisis in a few years

Read the full letter here.
Make your voice heard by joining us in these demands: muniforever.org/speak-up

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 publishing the weekly newsletter. Members can view current CCC rotations.

Digital flier for the Green Bank SF initiative. Image has Jackie Fielder and a stylized rose with alternating petals and dollar bills.

Take Action: Support a Green Public Bank for San Francisco 🌱🏦

San Francisco has the chance to make history by creating a green bank: a publicly-owned institution that invests in affordable housing, small businesses, and clean energy instead of Wall Street profits. A Green Bank Resolution was recently introduced by our Socialist in Office Jackie Fielder, and we need to show the Board of Supervisors and Mayor Lurie that San Franciscans support it.

A public bank would keep our money circulating in our communities, fund climate solutions, and help build a city that works for everyone — not just the wealthy.

Take two minutes to send an email to the Mayor and Supervisors using our email tool.

Want to help build the campaign? Join the #public-bank channel in Slack or email ecosocialist@dsasf.org to get plugged into organizing efforts and stay updated on next steps.

Digital flier for organizing mindset training depicting a cute smiling brain with limbs

✊ Organizing Mindset Training

Organizing is at the core of what we do as socialists — and it’s a skill that can be developed and practiced. Come join fellow comrades as we learn and discuss how we can incorporate organizing fundamentals into our day-to-day actions so that we can build stronger, more cohesive, and more active communities that can rally together against the unjust capitalist system. Whether it’s our neighbors, coworkers, friend groups, fellow transit-riders, or any other communities we interact with daily, we will always be stronger when we are organized, aligned on the most critical issues we are facing, and ready to act in unison and put our collective people power behind our demands.

Join us at 1916 McAllister St on Sunday, November 16th from 3:00 – 6:00 PM for the first iteration in what we hope will become a recurring, multi-part Organizing Mindset training. 🐣 All are invited and encouraged to attend, whether you are new to DSA, new to organizing, or a more seasoned member/organizer. This first session in particular is a great one to attend if you are interested in helping shape future iterations of this training. RSVP here!

Reportback: Growing Community: Urban Food Production with Alemany Farm

This past Saturday, 20+ DSA members volunteered and learned at Alemany Farm (@alemany_farm on Instagram)! We cleared weeds from a plum orchard and hauled brush for compost, contributing our labor to a local producer of free, fresh fruits and vegetables. As SNAP benefits are cut and food security is put in jeopardy, it’s important to get involved with local efforts to feed the community and teach useful skills. Stay tuned for future community gardening and farming events led by the Ecosocialism working group! Thank you Alemany Farm for hosting us!

Get involved by reaching out to ecosocialist@dsasf.org or joining #ecosocialism on Slack.
