Weekend Report

Over this past weekend, DSA SF members organized and participated in several exciting events through Palestine Solidarity and Anti-Imperialism (PSAI), Immigrant Justice provisional, and Homelessness working groups.

As part of the No Appetite for Apartheid campaign, PSAI and coalition partners at the Arab Resource Organizing Center and Neighborhood Business Alliance canvassed 20+ stores in the Tenderloin, securing a total of 30 pledges from SF local grocers not to carry products from companies complicit in the Israeli apartheid and genocide of Palestinians.

In partnership with Jackie Fielder’s office, Immigrant Justice working group handed out Know Your Rights pamphlets and red cards from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center in the Mission District ahead of the People’s March.

The Homelessness Working Group conducted a power mapping event around the Zurich 4 Pillars program, with former SF supervisor Dean Preston in attendance. Finally, SF and East Bay DSA chapters mobilized over a hundred people in Sunday’s We Fight Back rally and march on Market Street.
