Events & Actions
Bay Area Benefit Concert for Gaza: Nurturing Sumud
Join your DSA SF comrades and our coalition partners on Saturday, October 5th at a benefit concert for Gaza, in support of the steadfastness of the Palestinian people facing this ongoing genocide. This will be a night of Palestinian art and culture, with performances by Ramzi Aburedwan & his Dalouna Ensemble featuring Ouday Al Khatib. All proceeds of the event will be donated to the Middle Eastern Children’s Alliance (MECA). MECA has been instrumental in providing emergency assistance to families who have fled their homes.

Palestine Mobilization: One Year of Genocide, One Year of Resistance
This October marks one year since Israel’s ramping up of the ongoing Palestinian genocide, we will be hitting the streets with Palestinian Youth Movement, AROC, and others from the Palestinian Action Network coalition to commemorate the lives lost and honor the continued resistance of the Palestinian people. Please join us at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 6 at 16th St & Valencia. RSVP to join the Signal chat for our contingent; we will sort out our exact meeting point and time from there.

Maker Monday

No Appetite for Apartheid in SF!
Inspired by long-standing Palestinian boycott tactics and the BDS call, the Palestine Solidarity Anti-Imperialist Working Group are canvassing local stores and asking them to pledge to become Apartheid-Free by dropping products from companies complicit in the genocide of Palestinians and colonization of Palestine. It’s time to turn up the heat on this apartheid regime and take apartheid off our plates!
Want to show your support? Sign our Apartheid-Free Pledge so business owners know how popular this movement is with their local customers. After signing the pledge, we would love to see you at any of our upcoming campaign strategy sessions and canvassing days. Check dsasf.org/events for updates.
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.
