Comrade @siobhan-m.bsky.social goes through the history of US civil rights cases, arguing that our rights do not arise from legal structures but from successive generations of political struggle www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

MUG Applications Are Open! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We have removed the recommendation to vote No on R45: Voting Rights for All Members from our voter guide. We recommended a No vote because the original text of the resolution had language which could inadvertently ban live voting at chapter meetings, the authors have fixed it.

Awesome guide from MUG! 🌹🙏

We’re excited to drop our voter guide for Convention! MUG delegates are guided by a commitment to: 🌹 Uniting our party around a revolutionary program. 🍻 Building independence from the capitalist parties. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Empowering members through deliberative democracy.

New in Light and Air, Annie W motivates R20-A1: Democratic Socialists and the Labor Movement Need Each Other, arguing for an electoral strategy rooted in the rank-and-file movement and openly committed to democratic socialism.

NPC CANDIDATE STATEMENT HIGHLIGHT 🍻 After two years on NPC Steering, Amy is running for reelection to support local chapters defending immigrants, fighting for trans liberation, and winning democracy for all.

New in Light & Air, comrades Connell H and Amy W go in depth for the motivation of R-07, Principles of Party Building, and argue for a strategy of "party surrogate in form, clean break in content"

Comrade @keisisqrl.bsky.social completes her series on socialist internal governance with a discussion of the need for proportional voting methods in political organizations, and we've presented it as one whole for your reading pleasure.

We are excited to announce our full lineup of panelists for this Sunday’s Mass Work & Mass Politics panel 👀🧵

Now that the DSA convention compendium is out and the Fighting Socialist Program is on it, we would love to present Amanda Levi's amazing art and beseech you: read, rank, and vote for the R&R/MUG program!

Join us on July 13 at 5pm EST for a cross-tendency, cross-terrain panel on the relationship between mass work and socialist strategy. Across the country, socialists are organizing their workplaces, building tenant unions, and reaching deep into working class communities.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens. Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important". Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary. substack.com/redirect/169...

NPC CANDIDATE STATEMENT HIGHLIGHT Cliff’s mission for NPC is to support local chapters, especially smaller chapters in red states, whose challenges are so often made invisible. Read his full statement below: discussion.dsausa.org/t/npc-candid...

Sign on to help get MUG amendments to convention! MUG wants to lead the fight against the root cause of fascism in the way only socialists can, build skills and connections between DSA members, and put party-building ahead of personality in the 2028 election 🧵

We need a Zohran in every city, but what made Zohran possible in NYC? Organized tenants, solidarity with Palestine, and unprecedented volunteer mobilization backed by mass socialist organization. Hear our NPC candidate Sid’s reflections on the campaign in Bed-Stuy:

“This shows that the power of the rank-and-file movement in New York City is growing stronger by the day,” Jack Lundquist, a member of Local 375 who helped lead the push to get DC 37 to endorse Mamdani, said of the victory. thechiefleader.com/detail.html?...

PROTECT TRANS KIDS

“The working class needs a party, and we need to begin to build the deliberative and democratic structures required for maintaining this party’s independence and power.” Read Sid on why delegates should vote yes on R08: Democratic Discipline 🌹 www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

In the coming years, DSA has to beat the MAGA regime and expose the Democratic Party. That’s why MUG has written two amendments for a Democratic Socialist presidential platform, grounding our interventions in a clear, independent vision for socialism. discussion.dsausa.org/t/r18-a-a-ds...

Blown away by @houstondsa.bsky.social! The Palestine benefit they helped organize with poetry from Gaza, solidarity letter writing tables, and more speaks to their coalition-building skills. The Houston left is a testament to how art can build our movement. Thanks for having me comrades🫡

To win federal office, we need deep relationships between DSA and candidates across the country. For a federal endorsement process grounded in rigor, democracy and organization, please sign @singhcpt.bsky.social’s Deliberative Federal Endorsements amendment. discussion.dsausa.org/t/cr05-a-tow...

While the Democrats abandon the South, it’s on socialists to step up and fight—for trans rights, for abortion, for migrants, for wages working people can survive on. Power to @pensacoladsa.bsky.social!

To defeat fascism, DSA needs to be the mass vanguard of struggles for democracy and civil rights. That’s why MUG is putting forward the Democracy for All campaign at Convention, launching a nationwide effort to expand voting rights to youth, noncitizens and incarcerated people.

"For all the positive lessons Milwaukee’s socialists can teach us, they also had their shortcomings which should make us wary of reviving the Sewer Socialist banner." Read the newest in Light & Air, about the rise and fall of Milwaukee's Sewer Socialists! www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

4/ To the Trump regime we say: An injury to one is an injury to all! ¡Chinga la migra! Fuck ICE!

How should socialists practice mass work? From @cliffconnolly.bsky.social: “Protagonizing puts the emphasis on asking questions, listening, attempting to learn, and practicing deep democracy.” www.marxistunity.com/light-and-ai...

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

If you missed it, read our comrade Amy’s letter on trans liberation in the Weekly Worker 🏳️‍⚧️ “‘Trans women are women’ is the alternative, solidaristic politics that Mike so longs for. Trans rights are women’s rights and are workers’ rights.” weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/1535/...

LAPD sweeping people out of the MOCA parking lot- I’ll follow up, I believe that’s private property? Mural says “who is beyond the law? Who is bought and sold? Who is free to choose…” etc.

Proud to fight Cop Cities wherever they try to build em.

On this day two years ago, the people of Atlanta stood up to city council with one demand: Cop City must never be built. Our fight continues everywhere the police terrorize Black communities and ICE kidnap our neighbors. While there is a soul in prison, we are not free.

Gender-affirming care for people of any age is not a controversial topic within the mainstream medical community. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

DSA’s power comes through radical democracy and unity in action, not just charismatic leaders. Listen to Zohran field lead and NPC candidate @wellstonist.bsky.social: “It’s not just enough to have the right ideas, you have to be part of a movement, and Zohran is helping us build that here.”

I helped write an amendment to the National Labor Commission’s consensus resolution—“A Partyist Labor Strategy” shifts DSA away from economism w/o falling into sectarianism. Please sign it if you’d like to see it debated on the convention floor 👇🏻 discussion.dsausa.org/t/cr10-a-ame...
