DSA SF’s Statement on the 2024 Presidential Election

Many people are rightly horrified by the election of Donald Trump, which will mean renewed attacks on immigrant, Transgender, Indigenous, Latinx, and Arab/Muslim communities and other oppressed groups. But the outcome of this presidential election was far from inevitable. The Democratic Party ran an unpopular candidate who abandoned working class voters, which led to the crueler face of capital coming into leadership for the next four years.

The Democratic Party and Biden’s administration failed to address the people’s needs in an election that largely became about the economy, and dismissed key constituents while increasing funding to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Their complacency caused the second Trump presidential term just as it caused the first – the right fills the vacuum left by their failures. The Democratic Party is unsuited for progress and we must build the alternative.

As socialists, it’s up to us to stop the descent into barbarism by building an organization by and for the working class. The rightward trajectory of both capitalist parties shows that we need an alternative to the future of war, militarism, and oppression on offer to us– a socialist alternative rooted in the struggle for liberation. The time is now. Join us in the fight for the new world.

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.

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.
