Democracy is brought about through collective liberation, not one vote majorities overturning our convention mandates.

“Should the DSA endorsement cmte find me fit to earn their endorsement, I commit to accepting *only* if the NPC reinstates the BDS WG with its existing leadership, and removes the disciplinary measures limiting WG members from holding leadership positions in our organization.”

[José🌹🇨🇺🌴🐜🏴‍☠️ @JG_Perez]

As many people know, the current Atlanta DSA Steering Committee has carried out a purge of dozens of members who either ran against them for Steering Committee or are suspected of supporting those opposing candidates.

[DSA San Diego 🌴☀️ @DSA_SanDiego]

We demand that all charges against local activists from San Diego and Los Angeles defending our community from violent far-right extremists be dropped! Free the J9 Antifascists! Our demand letter: https://t.co/7XzQ3jbNQl

An update:

Several days ago, Shatha (formerly @NotShathaa) was mass reported in a Zionist led campaign and banned by twitter as she was voicing frustration over and spreading awareness about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.

This is genocide #SaveSheikhJarrah

[DURUB🇵🇸 @durub_ntl]

These are some videos and photos of the home demolition occurring in #Jerusalem today

Palestinians face ethnic cleansing and apartheid as they face down the settler colonial evil that is Zionism.

HAPPENING RIGHT NOW⚠️
it’s currently 4 am in Jerusalem and the occupation has employed 100s of police officers to invade the Salahiya family home and arrest the entire family. The neighborhood is barricaded by police and electricity to the area was cut off.

It's just great the way members defending /protecting racist and sexist behavior and words by other members (which they usually have also committed themselves) want to shame and ban calling this behavior what it is. This is a fundamental failure to understand how racism works-1/2

[LadyThink2Much @LadyThink2Much]

I have dealt with anti-black racism, ableism, classist, toxic culture within DSA-LA. I chose to leave just like many of my black comrades has done because of it. I commend @BmoreDSAAF for their bravery for calling out this behaviour and stand in solidarity with them. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

In the midst of a COVID surge, City Council continues to displace encampments & spread COVID-19 against public health guidelines. Call into City Council Friday morning to tell them to stop the displacement to stop the surge. https://t.co/iYAbLbRVk3 #stopthesurgeLA #NoOn4118

[Bmore DSA Afrosocialists + Socialists of Color 🌹 @BmoreDSAAF]

[Philly DSA 🌹 @PhillyDSA]

We are outraged by the preventable, inexcusable, and horrific LAPD killing of 14 y/o Valentina Orellana-Peralta and the extrajudicial execution of Daniel Elena Lopez.

Philly DSA calls for accountability, for abolition, and for an end to the carceral state in 2022 and beyond.

[Baltimore - LSC @BaltimoreLSC]

We have nothing but admiration for the organizers in @UjimaMaryland, and condemn in the harshest possible terms the vile and racist rhetoric of Ryan K. The socialist movement has no space for bigots.
