  • Using the past to thrust forward! 🌹

    Comrades, This summer, DSA SF committed ourselves to developing a set of ballot measures that build power for the working class and train leaders in our chapter. As a chapter priority, the work of developing ballot measures that may someday become law will be a challenging process that all DSA…

  • What We Are Laboring Towards

    Comrades, Yesterday, we celebrated Labor Day as unemployment benefits expired for millions of Americans and protections against evictions are ceasing. Even as working-class couriers are forced to deliver Grubhub orders during a flood or drive Ubers to rescue people from wildfires, those same workers face conditions that are ever more…

  • Commemorating Black August

    Comrades, We’d like to end the month of August by commemorating Black August, which honors the fallen freedom fighters of the Black Liberation Movement, and to call for the release of all political prisoners, abolition of all prisons, and to continue to build power for Black liberation. Exactly 50 years…

  • Solidarity with the people of Afghanistan 🌹

    Dear comrades, Despite the media telling us the US military had been in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people, we know that’s not the case – the Afghan people have long suffered under US violence, and will now continue to suffer under the Taliban. The 20-year occupation – and the…

  • Housing is a right, not a political calculation

    Over the past couple weeks, we’ve seen our government carelessly allow the federal moratorium on evictions to lapse, all to have the CDC reinstate it through October 3 – an extension that will be challenged in courts. Will it survive potential challenges? What happens after October 3? Who knows? We…

  • Supervisor Preston Casts Only Dissenting Vote on City Budget Which Increases Policing and Defunds Social Housing

    Last week, Supervisor Dean Preston was the lone “no” vote on a city budget that increases police funding and defunds the social housing we won at the ballot box in 2020. Many politicians in San Francisco talk about the need to look for alternatives to the police, but Dean was willing…

  • Support the Rideshare Drivers’ Strike

    Support the Rideshare Drivers’ Strike Tomorrow, July 21 March and rally with Uber and Lyft drivers who are going ON STRIKE all day long tomorrow to protest unfair wages and working conditions from rideshare app companies, and to call for the passage of the PRO Act, which would protect gig workers’ rights…

  • Solidarity With the International Community

    Comrades, As regime changes are forced in Haiti, protests in Cuba are amplified and distorted without context, and the socialist project in Venezuela is mystified by propaganda. It’s more important than ever to focus on the truth behind US interventions in these nations. To the people who manage the U.S.…
