She had a tenacity, kindness and spunk that was unrivaled and the world was better for having her in it. With Glenn’s family’s blessing, we have organized a march and candlelight vigil to celebrate and honor her life. Please join us at Austin City Hall where we will meet at the steps outside the main building. From there, we will march to the South Steps of the Capitol for a candlelit vigil. Please note: wax candles are strictly forbidden on the Capitol Grounds; please bring electronic candles if possible. This is open to comrades, friends, family and all who knew Glenn and want to join together to honor and celebrate her memory.

The Senate is planning to vote on Brett Kavanaugh's nomination on Saturday. Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court threatens to roll back women's rights, voting rights, LGBTQ rights, and more. We owe it to all the brave survivors of sexual violence who have come forward, like Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, and Julie Swetnick, to ensure their stories were not shared in vain. Invite your neighbors, friends, and family to show up and speak out in response to the Kavanaugh vote!

Socialist Night School: What Is Democratic Socialism? October 16, 2018 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm Willie Mae Kirk Branch, Austin Public Library, 3101 Oak Springs Dr, Austin, TX 78702, USA Socialist Night School is an approachable and participatory place for DSA members to come learn about about democratic socialist perspectives, history, theory, and praxis. This program is intended for people with all levels of knowledge. Whether you’ve read every word of Marx front-to-back, or if you’re a little shaky on what exactly we mean by “socialism,” Socialist Night School is for you. Socialist Night School is largely discussion-based and entirely non-judgmental. There are no right or wrong answers, no quizzes or tests, and no bad questions. Each class will have a number of readings that will be posted well in advance of the meetings. No one is required to do any of the readings and facilitators will go over some of the basic points at the beginning of each meeting, but doing the readings will help make for better conversation and a fuller discussion of the topics at hand. Our first class will be on the topic "What Is Democratic Socialism?" Check out the website to sign up for the mailing list and to get the readings: https://austindsa.org/committees/political-education/ See more details •	17	18 ■ General Meeting w/ Michael Lighty!
