Chapter Movie Night: The Battle of Algiers 🍿
On Friday, June 7, join us for a film screening of Battle of Algiers. Battle of Algiers isn’t just a re-enactment of historical events but a powerful portrayal of the struggle for independence and the resilience of the occupied fighting against the occupier. It focuses on Algerian revolutionary fighter Ali La Ponte and his fight against the French occupation forces in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria, from 1954 to 1957 during the Algerian War of Independence. This film showing is as timely as ever as the fight for liberation continues in Palestine. This film was directed by an Italian communist who led the anti-fascist resistance against Nazi Germany and also had an actual FLN leader play as one of the characters, making this one of the most classic anti-imperialist films to date.
Food and drinks will be provided. Masks are highly recommended.

🇵🇸 Solidarity with Pro-Palestine Student Protesters for BDS
DSA SF stands in solidarity with university student protesters across the country occupying their campuses to demand their administration divest from companies complicit in the apartheid state of Israel.
Israel and the United States continue to perpetrate genocide and enforce apartheid upon the people of Palestine. Universities that use their endowment to invest in and support military contractors and Israeli companies are also complicit.
In response to these protests, universities have called on law enforcement to begin the forcible removal and arrest of students. DSA SF strongly condemns the arrest, suspension, or expulsion of any participating students.
Universities must meet the demands of their students – fully divest from the companies profiting from genocide, apartheid, and occupation in Palestine; institute academic boycotts and sever ties with Israeli universities; and drop all charges against student activists.
Universities and police have allied to support the US’s imperialist ambitions and Zionist settler colonialism. We must all play our part in fighting for a free Palestine.
To support our local student protests, checkdev.dsasf.org/events for ongoing mobilizations, and follow your local universities for turnout and donation asks!

While our city’s rulers and the fawning media celebrated the Dot-Com Boom of the ‘90s, the reality was different for thousands of tenants who were evicted or priced out. From the dot-com party crashing at one end of the economic spectrum to painful moments with evicted families at the other, this documentary features interviews with dot-com workers, real estate developers, and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, as well as those who challenged the new economic order through community organizing, electoral politics, and direct action.

Tenant Organizing Movie Night 🎥 Boom: The Sound of Eviction
Join the DSA SF Tenant Organizing Working Group for our next movie night on Saturday, May 11th at 5:00 p.m. at 1916 McAllister! We’ll be watching Boom: The Sound of Eviction. While our city’s rulers and the fawning media celebrated the Dot-Com Boom of the ‘90s, the reality was different for thousands of tenants who were evicted or priced out. From the dot-com party crashing at one end of the economic spectrum to painful moments with evicted families at the other, this documentary features interviews with dot-com workers, real estate developers, and San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, as well as those who challenged the new economic order through community organizing, electoral politics, and direct action.
This event is free and open to the public, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Organizing for Power: Core Fundamentals Training Registration Closes Friday!
Registration for the Organizing for Power: Core Fundamentals training is closing this Friday, April 26th! This training focuses on how working people can use the strength of our numbers to build majority-led disciplined structures that come together around shared goals and win campaigns in our workplace, including:
leader identification: understanding who can move people, and that it’s often not who you first think;
semantics: recognizing that the words we use matter – they must center each worker’s active participation as key to winning;
structured organizing conversations: preparing what it takes to win over the hardest-to-move leaders;
charting: incorporating a simple method to understand human social relationships, and to prioritize and systematize outreach;
structure tests: developing mini campaigns to build solidarity and site structure, and to know when you are ready to win.
