🍻 Eat, Drink, and Be Marxist 🍻

Join us Saturday after the canvass for our monthly in-person socialist social at Georgia Beer Garden (420 Edgewood Ave NE) at 8:00 PM.

 

Come for dinner, drinks, and conversation. Enjoy comradeship and a brew with DSA and friends!

 

Since COVID is still a risk, we ask that you only attend if you're fully vaccinated. We'll be meeting up in the back garden area!

 

🌹 March General Meeting 🌹

Join us next Saturday, March 26 4:00-6:00 PM for Atlanta DSA's March General Meeting at Park Avenue Baptist Church (486 Park Ave SE)! We'll hear the latest from our Chapter's campaigns and committees, discuss current events in the Chapter, and debate and vote on resolutions. All members are encouraged to attend!

 

☕ Support Starbucks Workers United ☕

Starbucks is unionizing in Atlanta! Support Atlanta Starbucks Workers United by placing an order with the name "UNION YES!" TWO Atlanta-area Starbucks stores have officially filed for unions!

 

Stop by either the Starbucks in The District at Howell Mill (1801 Howell Mill Rd) OR the Starbucks at Peachtree Dunwoody and Hammond (6001 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd) to let them know the community backs the union!

 

✊ Help Us Fight for $15 in Georgia ✊

Millions of workers put their lives on the line daily for unlivable wages and unfair treatment in the workplace. And while the pandemic surges on, the 1% continues to exploit working people for profits. Enough is enough: working Georgians deserve a living wage of at least $15/hour!

 

Atlanta DSA has been busy over the last couple months launching our campaign to Fight for $15 talking to working Georgians about the cost of living and why we need to fight for a living wage!

👩‍⚕️ Building Power for Healthcare Workers 👨‍⚕️

Today, March 14 8:00-9:30 PM, join DSA's Medicare for All National Committee for a panel discussion with socialist nurses, unionized doctors, healthcare students, and others on how we can build worker power in the healthcare sector and why doing so is important to bring about the changes socialists want to see in the world. The panel will feature Gabriel Winan, author of The Next Shift, as well as healthcare workers who are fighting for a union, organizers who work with healthcare workers, and more.

 

👕 Donate to Organize the South! 👕

Did you know that DSA is entirely member-funded?

 

This means we're free from the influence of corporate donors and wealthy "philanthropists" whose interests run opposite to our own.

 

It also means we need the help from YOU everyday working people  to keep the momentum going for socialist organizing in the South!

If you want to support our organizing work, you can make a monthly contribution at atldsa.org/monthly. PLUS give $10 or more monthly and get a free t-shirt! Email [email protected] to claim your shirt!

 

Why donate monthly? We have a world to win! That's not just a slogan; it's a game plan. When you donate monthly, you're contributing directly to community organizing efforts in and around metro Atlanta. Your donation helps us pay for critical administrative costs such as storage and meeting space, digital organizing tools, and educational materials.

 

Thanks for all your support let's get organizing!
