Join us Saturday, July 30th at Cabbagetown Park for a day of outreach to support the Atlanta City Abortion Fund resolution, which would allocate $300,000 in funds to pay travel and medical expenses for Atlantans seeking abortion care. We'll be reaching out to people on the Beltline and knocking doors in the Cabbagetown area. We'll also be sharing abortion resources and information.

Last Wednesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted to uphold Brian Kemp's “Heartbeat” bill, which effectively bans abortions after 6 weeks in Georgia. Atlanta DSA condemns this undemocratic, abhorrent assault on the right to healthcare and bodily autonomy for working-class people across the state. [Read the full statement here]

Amazon and UPS workers across the country are fighting to build collective power, and we need YOU to get involved. This year, Amazon workers made history in New York City in a successful vote to unionize a fulfillment center with thousands of workers.

Meanwhile, UPS Teamsters are gearing up for next year when their contract covering over 340,000 workers is set to expire. What will it take to push this work forward? Why is organizing the logistics industry so critical for rebuilding the US labor movement? And how can you get involved?

Join us virtually Monday, August 1st at 7 PM as members of DSA Labor's Logistics Committee help answer these questions in a presentation to Atlanta DSA. If you're interested in getting directly involved in the effort to organize the logistics industry and build worker power nationwide, please sign up to attend!

This event is open to members and non-members.

Last night Bernie Sanders held an awesome town hall discussion with union leaders who are fighting back against the greed of the billionaire elite. Together we are going to build an economy that works for all of us, and the workers who are organizing and standing up for justice on the job are leading the way.
