Hi John,
In December, we gave out 48 thick blankets to unhoused people in Downtown San Jose. Unsurprisingly, 48 wasn’t enough, and we want to help keep everyone warm and healthy. We’re raising money specifically for our blanket fund — can you contribute?
Any amount will be greatly appreciated! If you’re unable to donate at this time, please ask friends or family if they might be able to spare some money to help us bring more blankets to more people. We’re raising money until February 3rd, at which point the blankets will be purchased and distributed.
Interested in learning more about socialism? Our political education reading group is discussing The Critique on the Gotha Program by Karl Marx, in which Marx analyzed and critiqued the political platform of the first Socialist Workers’ Party of Germany, this Saturday, January 30th at 11am. Whether you’re experienced in socialist rhetoric or new to these philosophies, we’d love to have you join the discussion!
We’re also hosting an educational webinar on Medicare for All. If you want to learn about Medicare for All, how to talk about it with others, why we need it, and our path to achieving it at both a state and national level, join us on Saturday, February 13th at 1:30pm. We’ll have guest speakers to explain how Medicare for All interfaces with their work in healthcare, education, and housing, and will allow time for questions and discussion.
In solidarity,
Your SV DSA Newsletter Team
