Events & Actions
Immigrant Justice Know Your Rights Canvass

We will be distributing red cards and KYR posters to businesses and community members on Mission between Cesar Chavez and 30th St. Our meeting point will be at the intersection of Mission & Cesar Chavez St. New to canvassing? No worries! There will be a brief how-to training before we go out in pairs or small groups.
Family Shelter Hearing on June 9
Hello all, there will be a hearing on June 9th about the family shelter evictions, and it is in need of YOUR support! Jackie is proposing to extend the stay of families in shelters to 1 year. The mayor would like to limit the stay to 90 days, which is not long enough to secure permanent housing. Come speak at the public comment in support of families getting to stay sheltered, or just cheer on Jackie!

EWOC Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing Reportback
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. This week local organizers-in-training met at the DSA SF office to wrap up Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing, a four-module EWOC course, with a lesson on preparing your coworkers to counter against bosses’ anti-union rhetoric, also known as inoculation. Bosses utilize rhetoric like “the union doesn’t represent you” or “we’re all making sacrifices” as a way to incite fear, division, and complacency among workers. Inoculation helps ensure that bosses’ messaging doesn’t further exploit workers and keeps the focus on the positive power of union organizing.
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 Labor Board’s weekly meetings every Monday at 7 p.m. on Zoom. The next EWOC event hosted by DSA SF features EWOC staff members conducting a training on generating workplace leads and conducting organizing conversations on July 17th from 6:30 p.m to 8:30 p.m. Let us know in if you can make it! Hope to see you there!
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.
