🌹Read Up on the Reproductive Freedom Act🌹
|
Healthcare is now, has always been, and will forever be a human right. However, the right to bodily autonomy and flourishing is under coordinated attack in Georgia. The facts are simple: abortion access is supported by 70% of Georgia voters, yet right-wing and Republican activists, officials, and policy-makers continue to push forward an agenda against the wishes of Georgians.
Socialists fighting for universal, free healthcare and free abortion at the point of service can take meaningful steps in the next few weeks and months to both reclaim and improve abortion rights in Georgia. Learn more about the Reproductive Freedom Act and its supportive defense of any and all who wish to have an abortion free and on demand.

📕 ATLDSA Book Club: Class Struggle Unionism 📕
|
Atlanta DSA's Book Club is starting a new book: Class Struggle Unionism by Joe Burns! We meet THIS THURSDAY Nov. 17th at 7PM on Zoom and meet every other Thursday. DSA faces a lot of questions on how to rebuild the labor movement. How do we relate to the union establishment which often does not want to fight? Should we work in the rank and file of unions or take staff jobs? And most critically, how can we revive militancy and union power in the face of corporate power and a legal system set up against us? Join us in the coming weeks to discuss these issues and more! You can get a copy of the book for $2 from Haymarket Books. If you haven't been able to make a meeting yet, now is a great time to jump in! For more information, email [email protected].
