Metro DC DSA Weekly Update for Friday, October 11, 2019


** What's On This Week
------------------------------------------------------------
Comrade, ABOUT THE WEEKEND: MDC DSA General Body Meeting ([link removed]) Sunday (Oct. 13) leads the calendar; on Saturday (Oct. 12) the Queer Socialists Caucus ([link removed]) meets, and in Maryland a Q&A with Dist. 5 Congressional primary candidate McKayla Wilkes ([link removed]) .
The DSA National Political Committee also meets this weekend. Livestreams of both Saturday and Sunday meetings are available, check it out here ([link removed]) .

AND MORE WEEKEND ACTION WITH OUR ALLIES (see also the Allies calendar below)

Saturday Oct. 12 Grassroots Planning Coalition/Empower DC monthly citywide organizing meeting ([link removed]) : 1:30-4 PM at Union Temple Baptist Church 1225 W St, SE -- The Office of Planning will release its proposed amendments for the remaining 900 pages of the Comp Plan on Oct 15th for a 60 day comment period. DC Council is soon going to be voting on final amendments to the first chapter of the of the Comprehensive Plan, a document that governs land use in the city. Through months of advocacy, housing activists have managed to get some pretty good language into the amended version, but DC Housing Authority and building industry lobbyists are now trying to water down key language that would ensure a ***right to return*** for residents at risk of displacement, that appropriately family sized units must be replaced, and that would ensure affordability is preserved.
If you can, please write to your council members to let them know that they should vote against any amendments on Tuesday that would weaken displacement and affordability protections. – David P, MDC DSA rep to the Grassroots Planning Coalition.

Financial Capitalism: Socialist Night School ([link removed])
The Festival Center 1640 Columbia Rd NW · Washington, DC ([link removed])
In the decade leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, booming banks, rising house prices and cheap consumer goods propped up living standards in the rich world. Thirty years of rocketing debt and financial wizardry had masked the deep underlying fragility of finance-led growth, and in 2008 we were forced to pay up.
The decade since has witnessed all kinds of morbid symptoms, as all around the rich world, wages and productivity are stagnant, inequality is rising, and ecological systems are collapsing.
In this session, Grace Blakely, author of Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation, will help us better understand the role of financialization in our current moment and what we can do to change course.
This session of Socialist Night School is jointly sponsored by Metro DC DSA and the Democracy Collaborative.

Introduction to Marxism (Socialist Night School) ([link removed])
Northeast Neighborhood Library 330 7th St NE · Washington, DC ([link removed])
“Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.” This is how Marx, in one of his more literary moments, described the relation between capital and labor. Marx was predominantly a theorist of how capitalism worked, not what a future socialist society may look like. In this introduction to Marxism, which will strive to be light on jargon, we will focus on how Marxists view capitalism, how capitalist profit is rooted in the exploitation of labor, and how the class struggle is the result of this.
The session will be led by Chip Gibbons, who is co-chair of the Metro DC DSA Political Education Working Group. He is also a journalist whose work has been published in Jacobin and the Nation. Follow link for details

The Korean Peace Process and The Legacy of US Imperialism in Asia ([link removed])
Mt. Pleasant Neighborhood Library 3160 16th St NW · Washington, DC ([link removed])
The chaotic current state of a seventy-year standoff is untangled by Tim Shorrock, a Nation correspondent and expert in the region who has been covering the intersection of national security and capitalism since the late 1970s. The bipartisan US goal of maintaining an imperialist foothold in the region conditions the narrative and complicates the efforts of a national coalition of US and Korean activists in solidarity with Korean people’s movements. Presented by the MDC DSA Socialist Night School. Follow link for full details.
