Reportback: Bay Resistance Coalition
Last Tuesday, September 29th, DSA SF joined several organizations in the Bay Resistance Coalition to protest at the OpenAI conference. Sam Altman was the main speaker. We were out there to protest OpenAI’s complicity with ICE, their technical support to the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and their role in the climate crisis through the continued use of data centers. We also demanded that OpenAI pledge to protect democracy should the Trump administration attempt a fascist takeover of the election. People Over Profit and billionaires were also our main slogans. The protest was very successful and drew media attention with coverage appearing on social media, local news stations, Democracy Now, Al Jazeera, just to name a few.
Thank you to the electoral board and steering for supporting this action and also to those DSA members who were able to make it out to this early morning protest. DSA SF will continue to join in with other Bay Resistance coalition members to fight against any fascist and oligarch takeover of our government that want to silence the voice of the working class. Stay tuned for more information regarding other actions that are needed in the event that the upcoming election is stolen or thrown into chaos.
