The ruling class declares the wars but the working class are the ones compelled to fight and die in them. DSA opposes the endless US war in the Middle East and is mobilizing to stop this war on Iran.

Join us as we call on Lloyd Doggett to co-sponsor legislation brought by Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna to block funding for unilateral military actions the president takes to wage war against Iran without Congressional approval. 

Sign and share this public letter to Rep. Doggett asking him to do the right thing and help bring this legislation to a vote in the House: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-war-with-iran-call-on-lloyd-doggett-to-act/

Before our next Big Ass Canvass on January 12, let's get together and hang out to talk Medicare For All, Green New Deal, and how the media is finally starting to notice our momentum!

Brews for Bernie is great for anyone who is new to DSA and looking to learn more about our work. With Texas' primary fast approaching, there's lots to do to make sure we get Bernie Sanders in the White House. We'll tell you all about what the New Year holds for our campaign and how you can get involved.

So come join us at Black Star Brewery, and look for the DSA signs and red tablecloth!

Black Star is family friendly, allows dogs, and has food for sale. It is right on the light rail, the 1, 801, 481, 7 and 300.

Accessibility: This venue is wheelchair-accessible.

At our first meeting of a very big year we're going to talk about some of the ways we're building power to win a radical Green New Deal: canvassing (and going to parties) to talk about Heidi Sloan and Bernie Sanders and their badass Green New Deal platforms; planning our response to the Energy Update Plan going to City Council; and planning for a Socialist Night School on ecosocialism and the Green New Deal.

We'll also get in a few minutes of talking about No War with Iran and how ecosocialists have compelling reasons to mobilize with the anti-war movement. Come on out if you can!

Climate change is real and it is destroying our planet. Scientists say we have 10 to 12 years to transform our society before we face disaster. We see this as an opportunity. In the 1940s Americans transformed our economy to produce the materials we needed to win World War II.

If we approach fighting climate change in the same way we can transform our society with a Green New Deal, prevening the worst of climate change and creating a society that works for people and not for profit.

Join us to help build the movement for a Green New Deal and the political revolution!

If it's your first time canvassing, no problem! We'll make sure everyone is trained, practiced, and partnered with with someone more experienced.

We're restarting our Saturday afternoon canvasses. Join us as we talk to our neighbors about Bernie Sanders, Heidi Sloan and their vision for a democratic socialist future!

Snacks will be provided. Don't worry if you've never canvassed before: you will be provided with training and a partner.

In December, we made Austin DSA history with 101 people canvassing for Heidi Sloan and Bernie Sanders! But we can't stop there. There's a world to win and these campaigns are great opportunities to bring working-class Austinites into the socialist movement.

That's why we're going back to Givens Park for The Big Ass Canvass II. We're aiming for 100 canvassers again, so come out and help keep up the momentum!

We will provide breakfast and coffee. If you've never canvassed before, this would be a great first time. We will do a training beforehand and pair newcomers with experienced partners.

The new decade has just begun, and already it feels like there is so much at stake. Australia is burning and war profiteers are on the march. As late stage capitalism grows equal parts dangerous and absurd, Bernie Sanders' campaign soars. It is looking like we are going to win both Iowa and New Hampshire. The inspiring Sunrise Movement just endorsed!
So come out to Gourmands on Tuesday, January 14, to cheer on THE anti-war candidate, THE climate candidate, and THE healthcare candidate.

Gourmands is two blocks away from a 4 Bus Stop and accessible by wheelchair.

With 48 days to go until the Texas Primary on March 3rd, we are organizing to reach as many working class people as possible with our mass campaigns! We need you to join us!

Austin DSA has endorsed a slate of movement candidates:
🌹Bernie Sanders for President
🌹Heidi Sloan for Congress
🌹Dominic Selvera for County Attorney
🌹Jose Garza for District Attorney

These class-struggle candidates are fighting as part of our movement to win Medicare For All, to end cash bail and mass incarceration, and to win a world that provides every person with a dignified life. We can elect them, but to elect them and win our demands, we need as many working class socialist organizers as possible. If you don't consider yourself an organizer yet, your involvement in this campaign will change that.

If you are interested in getting more involved in organizing our campaign, join us. Send inquiries to [email protected]

We are continuing our Socialist Housing Education series with an event on tenant organizing!

Most people in Austin are renters. How do we organize and build power to control our living conditions when we are struggling to pay rent? Shoshana Krieger will present on how BASTA Austin organizes tenants to fight for better homes and the Austin Tenants Speak Up Art Group will perform "Of Right and Rats," an interactive play about abusive landlords and how to confront them.

Refreshments will be provided.

Accessibility info: Austin Public Library, University Hills has accessible bathrooms and is on the Number 20 MetroBus line.
