ICE Out of SF Courts!
Join neighbors, activists, grassroots organizations in resisting ICE abductions happening at immigration court hearings! ICE is taking anyone indiscriminately in order to meet their daily quotas. Many of those taken include people with no removal proceedings.
We’ll be meeting every Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery. We need all hands on deck, even if you can only participate for 1 or 2 hours.
Join East Bay DSA and Social Security Workers United to Rally for Social Security’s 90th Birthday 🎂
The recent attacks from the Trump administration and DOGE on Social Security workers and the services they provide have made our jobs more difficult and have degraded service for the millions of Americans who rely on Social Security. But we’re ready to fight back. That’s why on August 14, Social Security’s 90th birthday, we are taking action to keep #SocialSecurityStrong.
Join us as we demand Social Security Administrator Frank Bisignano:
- Fully staff the Social Security Administration to reduce wait times and ensure high quality service delivered by professionals, not machines.
- Protect the private information that millions of Americans have entrusted to the Social Security Administration.
- Make the rich pay their fair share so that we can expand Social Security and keep it strong for the next 90 years.

People’s Conference for Palestine
We’re excited to announce that our chapter is sending a five-person delegation to join thousands of organizers, artists, students, and community members from across North America at the People’s Conference for Palestine, taking place August 29th through 31st, 2025, in Detroit, Michigan.
With the guiding theme “Gaza is the compass,” the conference aims to deepen our collective strategy, convene us at a critical juncture, and strengthen the mass movement for Palestinian liberation in North America. Attendees will engage in plenaries, workshops, cultural events, and organizing sessions that reflect the urgency of this moment.
Our organization is proud to endorse the conference and is actively mobilizing our members to attend. We see this as a critical opportunity to connect with others in the movement, share strategies, and reaffirm our commitment to justice for Palestine.
Although we’ve voted on our official delegation, you’re still able to attend if you’d like and join up with other Bay Area organizers!
