Announcements
🌹March Chapter Meeting
DSA SF’s chapter-wide regular monthly meeting is happening next week, March 8th from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.! Register to join on Zoom below or join us in person at 518 Valencia St. (Masks are recommended for in-person attendees.) We look forward to seeing you there!
Battle of Chile Film Screening on March 17, 24, and 31
Join the DSA SF International Solidarity Committee for a film screening and discussion of Patricio Guzmán’s documentary The Battle of Chile: The Struggle of an Unarmed People. The documentary covers the right wing boycott and military coup against the Allende administration, focusing on the bottom-up organizing of Chilean workers in response to U.S.-funded efforts to dismantle their revolution. The film highlights the many counter-revolutionary tactics that U.S. imperialism continues to deploy in Latin America today while providing key insights into organizing strategies that we can apply to our current struggle for a worker-controlled democracy. The first of three screenings is taking place on Friday, March 17th at 6:30 p.m. at the DSA SF office (1916 McAllister). Food and drinks will be provided!
Book Talk with Medea Benjamin on March 25
Come join us on Saturday, March 25, at 1 p.m. for a talk on Zoom with Medea Benjamin, author of War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict. Her book provides a fantastic summary of points generally ignored in Western media: the historical context to the conflict, America’s role in escalation, NATO expansion, misinformation campaigns, the global impact of Western sanctions, and the real threat of nuclear war. Medea is a co-founder of CODEPINK and the fair trade advocacy group Global Exchange; she has also written books on drone warfare, US-Saudi relations, and American aggression against Iran. Medea has been awarded with the US Peace Memorial Foundations Prize and has been a recipient of the Gandhi Peace Award and Martin Luther King, Jr Peace Prize from the Fellowship of Reconciliation.
Office Hours Every Friday This Month!
The DSA SF office will be open for office hours from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. every Friday in March! Folks will be milling around working on a variety of DSA and non-DSA things and generally hanging out and having a good time. If you’re looking for a place to work for the afternoon in community with other socialists on Friday, come hang out!
Ecosocialist Book Club: The Future is Degrowth
Join the DSA SF Ecosocialist Committee’s book club for a two part discussion on degrowth on March 7th and 21st from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. We’re reading and discussing The Future is Degrowth: A Guide to a World Beyond Capitalism. Open to all!
