👀 Brooklyn’s a funny place to have a courir, hard to chase chickens with all the traffic, but y’all have fun, yeah.
Spotted: @nycDSA selling tickets to The Mardi Gras. Cultural appreciation or cultural appropriation? You be the judge at our February 25th General Meeting. 15 minutes set aside to roast our NYC comrades 🎭 Consider this a Nieux Yorker themed party - xo xo, New Orleans DSA

Yet the future is ours.
New Dems reject socialism — period. It’s time for House Republicans to stop playing political games and join our Members as we work to grow an economy that works for all Americans.

Thank you to the people of Louisiana for electing as District 3's Public Service Commissioner. Tonight, the people took the power back. I look forward to working to bring clean, affordable and reliable utilities to the people of Louisiana over the next six years.

Our Nov All-Member Meeting is TONIGHT at 8:30E/5:30P - it's an important one, one which will hopefully answer the common question, "I want to get involved in MAWG but how do I?" Also: time for report-backs on disaster work, discussion w comrades, and more! tinyurl.com/mawgnovamm

There was no red wave except in Florida. Why? The Democratic Party here spent its time red-baiting about “socialism” and calling progressives the problem instead of offering anything of substance to working class people!

We gain nothing from this embargo and we lose SO much.
This afternoon, the UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the US embargo on Cuba for the 30th time. The international community has spoken time and time again: the embargo must end.

Take the pledge at MakeEntergyPay.com Once we get 10k pledges, we hit Entergy where it hurts. #MakeEntergyPay
The New Orleans DSA says it is planning a "debt strike" where participants will refuse to pay Entergy bills in an effort to pressure the company to forgive all post-pandemic utility debts and permanently vow not to shut off power.
Monthly general meeting tonight! Among other topics, we’re going to be building a plan to help us decide how and when to make electoral endorsements. This will be a HYBRID meeting, DM for Zoom link or show up at AOC in Laf (in the Rosa Parks building) at 6:30pm!

Our comrades at @Orlando_DSA, Central FL Mutual Aid, and @MutualAidRelief are on the ground helping their neighbors clean up flooded homes, but had their box of disaster PPE stolen today. Help the on-the-ground teams by sending new ones, if you're able: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3C…

Please consider giving your time and skills to help comrades in the Southeast; even if you don’t have time/capacity right now, they’ll need help for a long, long time!
Folks in Florida and everywhere in Ian's path are going to need a whole lot of help over the next few days, months, and even years. Our Disaster Relief Subcommittee is working to organize DSA members on the ground and from far-off places. Interested? tinyurl.com/dsamawgian
