Nearly 10% of Starbucks stores and profits are in the Los Angeles area. Starbucks is still failing to do the right thing (again), including to finalize fair union contracts. Management has stalled, refuses to negotiate seriously over economic issues, and baristas are FED UP.

Join us for this educational as we consider the views of radical thinkers from W.E.B. Du Bois to Angela Davis who took a longer perspective of fascism as a political movement intertwined with the histories of racial subjugation, capitalist domination, and empire-building.

Our city is under attack. Federal agents are conducting a series of raids all throughout Los Angeles, ripping families apart, and subjecting our community to horrific conditions in the Metro Detention Center. ICE is targeting members of our community.

One intervention we can make now is to introduce stronger rent control to make city policy more responsive to the needs of working people, a supermajority of whom are tenants. Learn more and take action to demand stronger rent control in Los Angeles at captherentla.org!

How can and should the left work together to effectively fight back against Trump's authoritarian politics?

For decades, the Los Angeles Rent Stabilization Ordinance (LARSO) has allowed landlords to increase rents beyond inflation rates year after year.

Over the next two months, 30 democratic socialist organizers will be going through a series of trainings to prepare for the 2026 elections cycle. Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez came by to help us powermap LA and help us build a left-labor political pole here in LA.

Over 20,000 grocery workers are poised to strike stores throughout Southern California against Unfair Labor Practices. DSA members showed up in solidarity for practice pickets with @UFCW770 this week. The union makes us strong!

My statement on the Trump administration's illegal military actions and the wars that must end.

Last night, we had a full house for our rapid response training with @uaw_4811!

This past weekend, we went out to Defend the Wage with our union brothers and sisters @unitehere11 and @seiu_usww. The Defend the Wage campaign is a month-long effort to stop the hotel + airline industries from overturning the historic wage increase that LA City Council voted into law

Protesters have entered the office building where Peter Thiel’s West Hollywood office is located:

Peter Thiel makes billions supplying insidious surveillance tools to LAPD, ICE, and the US Military. Palantir helps ICE separate families and terrorize immigrants and is developing a database that will allow the federal government to spy on every American—documented or undocumented.

"Plaintiffs and the citizens of Los Angeles face a greater harm from the continued unlawful militarization of their city." The courts agree. Trump's taking over the CA National Guard sows chaos and tears apart our communities. calmatters.org/justice/2025...

"Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was unnecessary." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The raids and invasion have nothing to do with keeping order, they are about removing democratically elected political leadership, destroying our communities, and undermining even the most basic aspects of multicultural democracy here in Los Angeles

Please join DSA-LA, HILL and community members for an action outside the Westin LAX (5400 W. Century, Los Angeles Ca 90045) on Thursday, June 12th starting at 3 PM.

Let us be clear: this is an attempt at ethnic cleansing. Our unjust immigration laws have cemented an apartheid regime for immigrants. This is an attack on workers and organized labor. Trump does not believe in the right of LA to exist as a multicultural, migrant, working-class city.

UPDATE. Tomorrow's rally in Glendale is cancelled. WE WON! Glendale is cancelling its contract with ICE. When we organize, we win.

Share with your neighbors! Know your rights against ICE. If you see ICE activity in the LA area call the hotline (888) 624-4752.

All out TOMORROW 6/9, 11am at Grand Park in downtown LA to demand Free David Huerta, union leader detained and tased and too Stop ICE Raids. #FreeDavidEndRaids Not in LA? Find more actions here: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

Support the @ClueJustice detained immigrant bond fund at cluejustice.org/bond

Know your rights. Report ICE activity in LA (888) 624-4752

This weekend’s shocking and violent raids in Los Angeles are meant to be a show of force from the Trump regime. This is about instilling fear and terrorizing Angelenos.
