ICE Out of SF Courts!
Join neighbors, activists, grassroots organizations in resisting ICE abductions happening at immigration court hearings! ICE is taking anyone indiscriminately in order to meet their daily quotas. Many of those taken include people with no removal proceedings.
We’ll be meeting every Tuesday and Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery. We need all hands on deck. The 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM window is when we most need to boost turnout, but if you can’t make that please come whenever works for you. 1 or 2 hours or the entire time! We’re also holding orientation sessions for folks, but that is not required to attend. See the 🐣 Immigrant Justice Court Action Orientation event for more details.
EWOC: Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing
The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) is running a Fundamentals of Workplace Organizing course weekly in September (see below for schedule). Just like we did back in May, we’re getting a group to take the course together and benefit from in-person discussions and activities (at 1916 McAllister). If you’re interested, RSVP here! The goal is to have more people learn organizing skills, both for your own projects and for organizing with EWOC. The final session is from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM onMonday, September 29.
If you have any questions, reach out to labor@dsasf.org.

Bay Area Palestine Solidarity Reflection and Planning
Missed the People’s Conference for Palestine? Join the Palestinian Youth Movement’s report back on Thursday, September 25th at 6:00 PM at La Peña Cultural Center (3105 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA)
At the end of August, DSA SF sent five delegates to the historic second People’s Conference for Palestine in Detroit. On Thursday September 25th, join Bay Area comrades for Palestine Solidarity to reflect and build on the lessons of the conference.
📍 La Peña Cultural Center (3105 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA)
📅 Thursday, September 25
⏰ 6:00 PM
This will be an open space of reflection, discussion, and collective planning on how to bring the energy, strategy, and tools from Detroit back home to strengthen our organizing in the Bay Area. Our siblings in Gaza continue to endure bombardment, famine, and occupation. It is our duty to channel the momentum of the conference into action: to confront genocide, challenge imperialism, and grow a movement capable of transforming the conditions that allow this genocide.
🐣 Immigrant Justice Court Action Orientation
Come one, come all to 1916 McAllister St for our court watch orientation! You’ll learn how we are resisting ICE , how you can help, and participate in a biweekly art build. Bring questions and anti-ICE slogans! This event will take place every-other week on Thursday’s starting at 7:00 PM and the next one is September 25!
Kashmir: Partition, Nationalism, and Global Fascism
Nationalism is rising all over the world, and violence as always is accompanying it. Nowhere is the genocidal logic of the nation-state more evident than in Israel’s occupation of Palestine, but it is not the only example that we must learn from. The Partition of India in 1947 and subsequent conflicts in South Asia have many similarities, and some important differences. Come join the DSA SF as we investigate the Kashmir Conflict, which flared up violently this spring, and its relationship to Hindu nationalism and the global fascist movement. We’ll be meeting Friday, September 26 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at 1916 McAllister St.
Apartheid-Free Bay Area Consumer Canvass
Let’s build public support for stores that have pledged to go apartheid-free this Saturday, September 27 from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM! We’ll meet at Dolores Park on 18th St and Dolores St.
We will first train you, and then you will put that training into practice by collecting signatures in Dolores Park. RSVP here!
Emergency Tenant Organizing Training
This month the comrades in the Tenant’s Organizing Working Group have been attending the Fall 2025 Emergency Tenant Organizing Committee (ETOC) training, offered by the DSA Housing Justice Commission!
In the last ETOC session, comrades learned about the specific tools and techniques that could be used to begin organizing a tenants’ association campaign, how to plan escalation actions to get demands met, and how to successfully keep campaigns from losing momentum.
We hope to see you join us for the upcoming ETOC session 4 on Saturday, September 27 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM either remotely via Zoom or at our watch party at 399 Webster St. at the Embassy. There will be snacks! All are welcome! RSVP here.
Please get in touch with us at tenants@dsasf.org if you’d like to explore the ETOC materials.
Market Street Transit History Tour
This transit month, join our Ecosocialist Working Group as we explore Market Street, San Francisco’s main boulevard, through a socialist lens — who controlled the streets, and for what purpose?
We will be meeting at The Ferry Building on Sunday, September 28 at 2 PM. RSVP here!
📖 DSA SF Tenant Organizing Reading Group – “Housing the City by the Bay: Tenant Activism, Civil Rights, and Class Politics in San Francisco”
San Francisco has always had an affordable housing shortage, but solutions outside of the private sector have long been neglected or overlooked. Join us as we learn about the history of one proposed solution: public housing.
Our four-part reading group will meet every other Thursday at 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM hybrid in person at 1916 McAllister and Zoom with RSVP to discuss John Baranski’s book “Housing the City by the Bay”. The next meeting will be Thursday, October 2nd.
If you wish to join please RSVP here!
