Hi John,

As the end of the year approaches, we hope you and your loved ones are safe and well.

In our recent Chapter Meeting, there were a number of items introduced for a vote, as well as additional candidates for working groups. Ballots are going out to current SV DSA members who attended the recent chapter meeting — if you’d also like to vote, file a ballot request. Voting closes Tuesday, December 22nd at 11:59pm.

Here are some quick reports from our working groups:

Housing: Come to our meeting Wednesday, December 23rd to hear more about the resolution we passed at the December Chapter Meeting.
Socialist Feminist: Tomorrow, December 22nd SocFem is continuing progress on a video about domestic violence in the pandemic and holiday safety planning.
Mutual Aid: We recently gave out hundreds of blankets, and have just received another shipment of masks for distribution. Join our meeting Sunday, December 27th to help.
EcoSocialist: We’re formulating plans to support local indigenous groups, pushing for a Green New Deal, and managing our garden plot. Come join us on Slack to get involved.
Labor: Join Sunday, December 27th to work on an upcoming worker co-op zine and learn more about power mapping.

We also heard from some of you in our member survey (which we’ve kept open if you haven’t responded yet!) about new working groups you might like to see. Thank you for this feedback — stay tuned!

In solidarity,

Your SV DSA Newsletter Team
