Intro to DSA
Are you ready to build something bigger than yourself? Attending an Intro to DSA meeting is a great first step! Join us on August 4th at 6:30-7:30 p.m. to learn about what socialism means in San Francisco and how you can build a brighter future. Register here.
Memorial for Yemen School Bus Attack
Join us this Sunday, August 8, at 1:00 p.m. at Union Square to grieve the three-year anniversary of the loss of 40 Yemeni children whose lives were taken by a Saudi-UAE led bomb. We will be laying down 40 pairs of shoes and 40 backpacks to memorialize each life that was taken too soon. We come in solidarity and prepare any testimonials or condolences that you would like to share in the open mic. Learn more.
