  • Connect With Your Fellow Comrades Today

    Comrades,  “We’re all we’ve got” – words to live by, and a sentiment essential to socialism.

This week, we’re launching a new Slack channel…

  • Learn How to Gather Signatures for Ballot Measures

    Comrades,  It’s an election year, and that means it’s time to brush up on how to get out there and get signatures to support our ballot measures! This week, the Electoral Board is holding two training events on the basics of canvassing, including how to gather signatures and how to…

  • Committing to Black Liberation in February

    Comrades, Black History Month is as much a time to reflect on past injustice as a time to dismantle the systems that allow that injustice to persist. The chapter’s Black Liberation and Indigenous Sovereignty priority is doing that work, examining the ways we can break down systems of marginalization within the chapter…

  • Talking Socialism

    Comrades,  With the surge of COVID-19 cases in the Bay Area, we have had to roll back many of our in-person events to being Zoom-only. While this is the safe decision from a health standpoint, our chapter cohesiveness has suffered because we are unable to have the free-flowing discussion that…

  • Remembering MLK and His Call to Action

  • Our statement on Mayor Breed’s police state in the Tenderloin

    Comrades, Mayor London Breed recently announced a declaration of a state of emergency with proposals and claimed that they will “make Tenderloin a safer, healthier neighborhood”.

  • A Summit for Democracy with fascist regimes? Not a mountain we want to climb.

    Comrades, To bring about a just world, the fight for socialism is just as vital here in San Francisco as it is anywhere else in the world. This past week, DSA SF took action against international and local injustices – last Friday, DSA folks organized and marched with various human…

  • When we organize, we win!

    Comrades,  Last week, DSA-endorsed District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston’s housing appropriation PASSED with a veto-proof majority in the Board of Supervisors!
