🌹 Defeat Herschel Walker 🌹

Image promoting the monthly ATLDSA General Meeting

Abortion is healthcare and a human right, not a privilege. But our rights are under attack by corrupt anti-choice Republicans like Herschel Walker, who wants to ban abortion nationwide. In order to codify Roe vs. Wade into federal law, we must defeat the GOP in Georgia.

 

This seat will have huge ramifications over the next 6 years, and keeping Walker out of the Senate brings us one step closer to abolishing the filibuster and passing the PRO Act. We'll need as much support as we can get to overcome Georgia's voter suppression and make sure that young people and people of color are able to vote in this election.

 

Please help support Atlanta DSA's efforts to spread the word about Georgia's December 6th runoff, help working people vote early and absentee, and win back abortion rights for workers across the country.

📕 ATLDSA Book Club: Class Struggle Unionism 📕

Image promoting the Book Club that meets every other Thursday

Atlanta DSA's Book Club is reading Chapters 5-6 of Class Struggle Unionism by Joe Burns! We'll meet THURSDAY Dec. 1st 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].
