Upcoming Events

This Labor Day weekend, the Heidi Sloan campaign is having our first canvasses in a 3-day blitz to register voters, talk to people about the issues most important to them, and introduce folks in the district to Heidi. We are combining these canvasses with opportunities for folks to also blockwalk for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. We are excited to share our message about the rights of workers and their families, justice system reform, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and housing justice, and we would love to see you there.

First-time canvassers welcome! We will have a training before we get started, and all new canvassers will be paired with folks who have experience. This is a great opportunity to meet Heidi in person and get into the real work of a campaign. This is how we win, so join us for a day or two of your weekend and help us bring this exciting campaign to folks' doors.

**Alamo Park is on the number 18 bus line and is wheelchair accessible.

[Non-members welcome!]

After some brief unplanned down-time for maintenance, the Tech Committee is operational again.

Members and non-members alike who are interested in helping Austin DSA meet its technical needs are encouraged to attend.

We will have four broad topics of discussion:

- What are the present technical needs of Austin DSA?
- How should the committee best be organized to meet these needs? (Spoiler: I'm going to push AirTable)

- Are there matters of policy which we should be weighing in on?
- Anything you want to discuss! Rebooting the tech committee is as much an act of creation as an act of maintenance!

If you have any questions or suggestions you can reach out to [email protected]!

The national DSA For Bernie campaign is kicking off the weekend of September 7th!

Our Bernie campaign will unite DSA chapters, activists, and socialist organizers across all 50 states. Our national campaign launches September 7, featuring a weekend of coordinated action including rallies, canvasses, picnics, and parties. DSA activists will hit the streets to talk to hundreds of thousands of people about Bernie, democratic socialism, and our movement to transform the world.

Of course, we will also be canvassing for our very own Heidi Sloan for TX-25. We have an amazing opportunity to show Bernie supporters that they have a local candidate to support who shares their politics! Join us at the Austin canvass: Springdale Park on 9/8 at 10am!

Springdale Park is on the 6 bus line and is wheelchair accessible.

Do you want to get more members actively involved in your local or organization? Do you want to have better democratic processes in your local?

This month’s YALL meeting will be a brief reading and discussion on member-driven organizations and democratic union culture.

We aren't having an official ecosocialism meeting this months so this is for any teams that want to meet up in person. Email [email protected] for details and updates.

Austin DSA's Green New Deal campaign to get Austin on 100% renewable energy continues with our next canvass, where we will be joined by Socialist Congressional Candidate and DSA organizer Heidi Sloan! Come out to hear Heidi speak and learn how we can build a better world with a more democratic economy and save the planet with a Green New Deal.

New canvassers welcome! No experience necessary - we will have a training before we go and all new canvassers will be paired with experienced canvassers.

There will be food and coffee provided!
