Seattle Democratic Socialists of America

Come canvass for Nikkita! Let's continue supporting Seattle DSA member and chapter-endorsed City Council Position 9 candidate Nikkita Oliver by adding to the the literal hundreds of people who have helped knock on doors so far. This week, we'll be taking on District 7 on Sunday, June 20th at 12 Noon. Come meet us at Ella Bailey Park (2601 W Smith St) and  meet new friends and neighbors while helping get the word out for Nikkita. Hope to see you there!

Palestine will be free; clean your shelves out, QFC! Thanks to the members who showed up this past weekend to protest brands who support Israeli apartheid in Palestine. If you'd like to support the anti-war and anti-imperialism movement that is BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), consider signing this petition to ban products associated with Israeli apartheid from QFC.


Hey Comrades, did you know that the Seattle DSA 2021 chapter census is still underway? Thanks to the hard work of a dozen members who joined in on our first round of phone banking, we contacted 17% of the members who hadn’t yet responded and got an additional 40 members to fill out their census form! Through these calls, we’re learning about and connecting with the “paper members” who are interested in becoming more active, and getting invaluable information on the makeup of our chapter. If you haven’t filled out your census yet, please take a few minutes to fill it out now and watch your email and Slack for more phone banking opportunities in the coming week!

Solidarity Forever,

Seattle DSA
