Comrades,
Now that the Empty Homes Tax has successfully gotten on the ballot, we need to get the word out to the rest of the city! If you’re looking to get involved, the chapter is organizing weekly lit drops every Saturday at noon, with folks meeting up this coming Saturday, August 13 at Dolores Park on the corner of 19th and Dolores. Hope to see you all there!
Solidarity,
DSA SF Comms Committee

Announcements
The August chapter meeting is tomorrow night!
Our August chapter meeting is tomorrow night, August 10 at 6:45 p.m. at the PSL office on 2969 Mission St! We’ll be getting together to talk chapter business, get updates from our priority campaigns, and discuss a few things we’ll need to vote on as a chapter. We’ll be discussing possible support of a ballot measure campaign to consolidate elections to boost voter turnout, and how we can better and more consistently define what an eligible voter is in DSA SF – can’t work on improving democracy outside unless we have it ironed out within the chapter!
We’ll also hear about a proposal to harness the energy around the Empty Homes Tax campaign to strengthen tenant organizing efforts. The Empty Homes Tax campaign has been a huge source of strength for the chapter this year – we’ll hear about how we can use this network of San Franciscans concerned about housing issues and turn that energy into a slumlord’s nightmare.
The meeting will be accessible both in person and on Zoom, and you can register for the Zoom meeting using the link below.
Opening on the Electoral Board!

There’s a spot open on the Electoral Board – candidates are being accepted now, and we’ll be filling that spot during the August chapter meeting tomorrow night. If you have someone you’d like to nominate, send names to steering@dsasf.org!
