April 22 Maker Tuesday Reportback

We made nearly 200 red cards at the last Maker Tuesday as part of ongoing efforts to keep the chapter resupplied with Know Your Rights material. Homelessness, Labor, Tenants Rights, and Palestine Solidarity are among some of the working groups that have enjoyed distributing these around various neighborhoods in the city.

Behind the Scenes

The Chapter Coordination Committee (CCC) regularly rotates duties among chapter members. This allows us to train new members in key duties that help keep the chapter running like organizing chapter meetings, keeping records updated, office cleanup, updating the DSA SF website and newsletter, etc. Members can view current CCC rotations.

To help with the day-to-day tasks that keep the chapter running, fill out the CCC help form.
