Our hearts are warmed - right before a Minnesota blizzard! Thank you to @austindsa.bsky.social and @pghdsa.org for sending our chapter Valentine’s cards. We loved reading every message of solidarity 🌹

Allegheny County Council just passed Ordinance 13809-26 banning county agencies and employees from cooperating with ICE. Pittsburgh DSA turned out our members to tonight's meeting to send one message: Allegheny County stands in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. We will abolish ICE!

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible! Free Palestine!

We stand with the USLPA and the Riverhounds SC players demanding a fair contract. We're rooting for the Riverhounds SC to win today, but if the players strike, we'll stand by them. Better no games than union busting.

In order to support Allegheny County’s anti-ICE cooperation bill, please use this tool to email your County representative. Sending an email is quick and only takes a few seconds. Please share with anybody in Allegheny County who opposes ICE! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...
