DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America, has seen a massive influx of new members in the few weeks since the election.

Here in the East Bay and across the country thousands of people have committed to building a left alternative that demands material improvements in our lives.

DSA is dedicated to fighting for single-payer healthcare, tuition-free college, a living wage for all workers, and an end to white supremacy.

We are coming together to oppose the emboldened right wing, protect our targeted brothers and sisters, and build a future that puts people above profit.

Join us on Saturday, December 10th to learn how DSA East Bay is organizing locally. Meet new members, plug into opportunities for action, and enjoy a potluck among friends. Former mayor of Berkeley (and Bernie Sanders surrogate) Gus Newport will speak.

This event is open to new members, old members, friends, family, and anyone who is interested in DSA.

DSA is open to a wide spectrum of beliefs (at least on the left) and you certainly do not need to identify as socialist to attend or participate.

We need people to volunteer to bring food, beverages and utensils, and setup/breakdown the meeting space! To sign up, please follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UD8wvboYTEAZKvZaRxGIZrhDVAZpRRYb2PQf54e9sVw/edit#gid=0
