Join the Middle East and Africa (MEAA) Subcommittee of the DSA International Committee for a political education session on the ongoing American-British aggression on Yemen and its relation to the Israeli aggression on Gaza. We will walk through Yemen’s post-unification history, of the Yemeni government’s blockade of Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, and of Yemen’s counter-hegemonic role in the region. The actions of the Yemeni government, led by Ansar Allah (or “the Houthi movement”), are an expression of internationalist solidarity with the Palestinian people and a demonstration of the concrete actions needed to end the genocide in Gaza.

Our guest speakers will include:

• Rune Agerhus, Political Analyst, International Commission for Solidarity with Yemen

• Jehan Hakim, Chair, Yemeni Alliance Committee

• Max Ajl, Researcher, Tunisian Observatory for Food Sovereignty and the Environment

This is a workshop for DSA members as part of the DSA Archives Project: a multifaceted, ongoing endeavor to preserve our material and digital culture and learn how to use our institutional histories to strengthen our organization and support the growth of socialist politics. This workshop is offered in happy collaboration with the Tamiment Archives at NYU, where DSA's national archives are housed, and is co-sponsored by DSA Fund and the DSA National Political Education Committee (NPEC).

The workshop is designed to help current chapter leaders and political educators organize their digital materials, learn how to preserve physical materials and educate their membership about how to do that, and begin thinking of projects to use archives for the benefit of DSA, and the wider public. It is framed by several baseline questions for instruction, and large and small-group discussion and visioning.

• what are archives, and what are they for?

• why are archives important to socialists/socialism?

• what should we save, and how do we save it?

• what should we (DSA) do with our archives?  

If you're a rank-and-file member interested in starting archive work in your chapter as a new working group, or have a lot of socialist and DSA materials you'd like to learn how to handle, we welcome you, too!

We will use closed-captioning on Zoom, and it will be recorded for internal assessment purposes, not for public distribution.

Can you believe it’s been over 7 months since the Strike Ready Campaign launched? From the UPS contract campaign and practice pickets, to the UAW’s Stand Up Strike, DSA has stood with workers fighting back against the boss. We’ve seen renewed militancy, rejuvenated union democracy, and a turn to new organizing to expand the labor movement!

As this chapter draws to its conclusion, join us for a debrief call, where we will discuss DSA’s role in these struggles — what we accomplished, what we need to do differently next time, and how we fit into the new landscape of the labor movement.

Our bodies, our lives, our rights, and our democracy are on the line as the ruling class seeks to control our reproductive labor and outlaws abortion. As socialists, we know this is but their first step, and we are not the only ones in their sights. We know a mass movement is the only thing that can save us. And we know only we, the people, can build that movement.

This is the second of a two-part training series.

The first call was an overview of the legal and political landscape and an introduction to tools for assessing your own community and state: who has power and where does it come from, who is active on this issue both allies and opponents, etc.

The second call will be an interactive workshop to help you develop a long-term organizing strategy and campaign tailored to your unique conditions and therefore more likely to succeed.
