Hey 2025 DSA Convention Delegates, I’d love to talk to you about why I think I should be your #1 rank for cochair, and you should rank Red Star highly regardless! My free time is kind of oddball and inconvenient but I’d love to try to make it work!

Highly recommend B&R NPC member Kristin’s reflection on her time in GDC, plus a lot of good context from some other RS members:
“I can say without a doubt the previous iteration was hostile to new ideas, hostile to members, and undemocratic.”

After a relatively positive and mature campaign for the 2023 convention, it’s disappointing that SMC has decided that just attacking Red Star is the path forward. I gotta say that work related to GDC has been maybe the most bizarre and sect-like stuff I’ve dealt with in DSA

Victoria B expands upon Red Star's Points of Unity in her essay on Vanguardism. DSA’s intelligentsia-heavy composition must anchor itself in the battles of the exploited to both transform its own character and draw the base into revolutionary struggle. https://t.co/yieNoWbTr5
