Petition: SAN FRANCISCO, DIVEST NOW!
Despite being a progressive city, San Francisco invests millions of dollars in corporations that are complicit in the genocide and apartheid of the Palestinian people, facilitates ICE in the kidnapping of our immigrant community, and furthers the climate crisis. In January 2024, San Francisco was a leading voice in passing a ceasefire measure to demand an end to Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians and the US’s role in contributing to the death toll of Gazans, which now officially stands at 70,000. Yet, the City and County of San Francisco continues to invest in well-known corporations that facilitate the genocide and apartheid of Palestinians and the over-militarization of our city streets. These investments are managed under a “socially responsible” policy that already discourages investments in tobacco, firearms, and the Dakota Access Pipeline but remains silent on genocide, apartheid, and immigrant detention. As San Franciscans, we think there is nothing “socially responsible” about investing in war, militarization, and climate destruction.
Sign the petition here to tell the City and County of San Francisco: NO to genocide, NO to ICE, and NO to fueling the climate crisis!
Cuba Benefit Show
Come enjoy drinks and music Saturday night April 25th from 6 – 10 PM at The Roar Shack (34 7th St) to raise money for the people of Cuba. Fundraiser proceeds will be used to purchase medical and humanitarian supplies to send to the island in the face of the brutal US blockade and sanctions. RSVP here!
🎥 Labor Board Movie Night: Pride
🍻 DSA Labor Board is screening Pride in the lead up to May Day. This will be a fun casual event on Friday, April 24 6:00 – 8:30 PM at The Roar Shack (34 7th St) for labor veterans and the union-curious alike.
Pride is a fun, wholesome movie about the 1984 British Miner’s strike. When a gay and lesbian activist group realizes the cops aren’t harassing them because they’re off harassing the striking miners, they set out to support the miners and their families. There will be drinks! RSVP here!
Socialist Shop Talk
Come chat with comrades about socialism through the lens of current events! In this new series, we will read a short text together, then discuss and analyze it from a socialist point of view. This is a low-key environment where comrades can develop their skills of applying socialist analysis to current events, while having an outlet to discuss and process everything that’s happening in the world together.
This event is open to all, whether you’re socialism-curious, new to DSA, or a longtime member. In our first session, we will discuss two short readings highlighting the connection between immigrant justice work and the broader anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist struggle.
When: Sunday, April 26th, 3-4:30pm
Where: 1916 McAllister St
Get to Know EWOC Picnic
Sunday April 26th from 2-4 PM at Dolores Park (near Hidalgo Statue)
Want to enjoy the outdoors and snacks? Overworked, underpaid, and fed up with your working conditions? Interested in learning what it means to unionize your workplace? The world is a tough place, so why should your work make it even harder? Attending this picnic doesn’t mean you have to organize your workplace, but you’ll get the chance to talk to organizers and volunteers from the San Francisco local of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee!
The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is a volunteer-run network of hundreds of workers, organizers, and supporters who together are building a stronger, worker-led labor movement. We support and train any non-union worker in any industry who wants power and agency at work. Along with unions and other labor organizations, we can build the militancy and strength of the working class and effectively organize the millions of unorganized workers in the United States. RSVP here!
EWOC Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing Course
Sign up here
EWOC holds a regular training course to help you build your union from the ground up alongside workers in your industry. It doesn’t require an organizing background to understand the material, which covers topics including mapping and charting, building an organizing committee, uniting over common concerns, and how to take action. If you’re interested in becoming any level of organizer for EWOC, this course is mandatory.
This course will be hybrid, with the EWOC lectures occurring over Zoom and the discussion activities occurring at the DSA office (1916 McAllister). If you can’t make all of the sessions, reach out to Caitlin Stanton (SF EWOC local lead coordinator, DSA SF Labor Board member) for accommodations.

Week 1: Developing Leadership
Sunday, April 26 (12:00-1:30 p.m. PT)

Reportback: No Appetite for Apartheid Campaign work
On Saturday, DSA SF showed up TWICE for our No Appetite for Apartheid campaign!
Members of our Immigrant Justice and Palestine Solidarity and Anti-Imperialism working groups came together with our coalition partners in AROC to canvass 30 stores in the Mission in preparation for May Day. NA4A has already engaged these stores as part of our campaign to de-shelve products from companies complicit in Israeli apartheid and genocide, and this canvass further cultivated our relationship with them by giving them avenues to engage with the rest of the community to stand up against domestic repression under ICE and the illegal imperialist devastation that the United States and Israel are visiting on people in West Asia.
In addition to our store canvass, members also attended Palestine to the Bay International Labor Solidarity Panel and Fundraiser at SEIU 1021. Members from the Palestine New Federation of Trade Unions attended to share about the importance of organizing BDS campaigns in the US. We talked to attendees and shared about our NA4A campaign and how we are coordinating with small businesses to participate in May Day. We also made connections with Oakland Divest to coordinate our divestment work.
