DSA Winter Formal 
Ring in the new year with your comrades at the DSA San Francisco Winter Formal on January 9th from 6:00-10:00 PM at The Make Out Room (3225 22nd St), featuring musical performances by DSA’s very own Solo Efectivo, Jolie&Friend, and the Dirty Twenties.
We will have light bites, a photo op with Karl Marx himself, a special DSA cocktail with $2 of proceeds going to the chapter, and a cookie exchange (SIGN UP HERE)! Dress code is holiday attire/semi formal.
A $5 donation is suggested and can be sent to @DSASF on Venmo but absolutely no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please be sure to RSVP HERE and bring all your comrades! 
Social housing effort kicks off!
It’s official (provisionally): Our chapter has a Social Housing Provisional Working Group! Unlike privately owned housing for profit, social housing would be permanently decommodified and affordable. And unlike most nonprofit-run affordable housing or existing US public housing, its operation would be democratically controlled by residents.
At our late-December meeting, we made progress toward consensus on principles for social housing. Once that’s finalized and voted on by the chapter, we plan to start building a public education and electoral campaign to bring social housing into reality in San Francisco — building on previous DSA SF accomplishments, 2020’s Prop K and Prop I.
You can help! Join us at an upcoming Social Housing Provisional Working Group meeting. Note: the next one is at an irregular weekend time, but we will usually meet on Tuesday evenings.
Sunday, January 11, 2:00-3:00pm at 1916 McAllister or on Zoom (RSVP here!)
Tuesday, January 20, 6:00-7:00pm at 1916 McAllister or on Zoom
Every other Tuesday thereafter!
And if you’re an active DSA SF member, feel free to ask questions or propose ideas in the #housing channel on Slack, or the Social Housing category on Forum! (New member without access to Slack/Forum yet? Ask your onboarder!)
SF EWOC Flyering
The DSA SF Labor Board’s charter has a goal of increasing EWOC leads by 200%—come and help us increase San Francisco’s union density! This monthly event is to flyer based on previous strategizing sessions. Sessions will alternate biweekly with the flyering events. The next flyering event is Sunday, January 18 (1:00 PM – 3:00 PM). We’ll walk around, post flyers and do other canvassing work, and end with a casual social (since socializing is organizing!).
You don’t need to be a volunteer or organizer with EWOC to attend. EWOC (Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee) is a project of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE) and DSA working to build a distributed grassroots organizing program to support workers organizing at the workplace.
To learn more about the work EWOC does, come by the DSA SF office to pick up a copy of Unite and Win or tune into the EWOC SF Chapter meetings every 1st Monday at 7 p.m. on Zoom.
Reportback: No Appetite for Apartheid Consumer Canvas
The Palestine Solidarity and Anti-Imperialism Working Group had a great turnout at the last NA4A (no appetite for apartheid) consumer canvas of 2025! We were able to collect 45 signatures from consumers around the Ferry Building. Though it was a little rainy we were still jolly and cheerful and caroled an original NA4A song :blush: They’ll be many more events like these in 2026 to get involved in!
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 publishing the weekly newsletter. Members can view current CCC rotations.
