Cesar Chavez March - March 29th, 10AM - Southside Park

Hello Comrade! We're having an orientation on March 22. If you are a new member, or just plain eager to learn more about DSA and our work, this will be a great experience for you. It is also a chance to get more involved and to get to know some of your comrades.
 

Chapter Announcements
  • Our First General Membership Meeting of 2025 Was A Massive Success!
    • At the February membership meeting, we had over 40 people attend either in person or via Zoom. ?At the Laguna Hi-Valley North Library, we saw a packed room of old and new comrades eager to get involved and stop the fascist tides! ?We also took important steps for our 2025 campaigns as you will see below. ?We look forward to getting to know our new members and we are thrilled to see so many old friends return to our community.
  • 2025 Sac DSA Mission Statement Approved!
  • Boycott Chevron, "Adopt a Station" Campaign Approved By SacDSA Membership
    • As a part of our BDS campaign against Israel, SacDSA and our International Committee are joining forces with other organizations to call for a boycott of the oil giant Chevron, who are literally fuelling the genocide in Gaza as we speak. ?The "Adopt A Station" campaign was approved by a vote at the February meeting, meaning SacDSA will now pick a specific Chevron station to target and demand the franchise owner sign on to a letter denouncing Chevron's support for genocide and disrupt their business with the company. Expect to hear more about this campaign in the coming months!
  • SacDSA Membership Says "Socialize PG&E!"
    • The membership also voted unanimously to join the Reclaim Our Power Coalition. This coalition is working to force Governor Newsom to enact SB 350, a law passed in 2020 after the horrific wildfires caused by PG&E that turn the company into a non-profit, publicly owned utility like SMUD. The SacDSA Steering Committee will select a member to represent our chapter in this coalition.
  • Chapter Code of Conduct
    • Since we have an influx of new members, the Sac DSA Steering Committee would like to remind everyone of our Chapter's Code of Conduct. Feel free to consult this document if you ever feel the need to. This code is enforcable by the SacDSA steering committee and it applies to all Sac DSA events and spaces, including in-person meetings, social events, direct actions, and online spaces such as our chapter Slack. If you ever feel harassed or a need for mediation, our Harassment and Grievance Officers (HGOs) are here to help and can be reached at [email protected]. We at SacDSA take the safety and comfort of our comrades very seriously.
