Socialists have a historic task over the next few months—block the advance of the fascist right and build the power of an independent left to win transformational change.
On September 5, join SMC and our comrades in @GroundworkDSA for the Socialism Beats Fascism launch call!

DSA stands with the students at encampments being raided at City University of New York and Columbia. No one should be arrested, pepper sprayed, or beaten for protesting to end a genocide. We call on school administrators and elected officials to demand that the NYPD stand down.

DSA members are fighting for trans liberation on this #TransDayOfAction!
We must build a socialist majority to protect trans rights and win the world we deserve. From our neighborhoods, to school boards, to Congress—trans people deserve full equality and bodily autonomy 🌹✨🏳️⚧️

My statement on the ongoing violence in Palestine and Israel ⬇️
ALT " I am heartbroken by the ongoing violence in Palestine and Israel, and I mourn the over 250 Israeli and 230 Palestinian lives that have been lost today, and the thousands injured, following attacks by Hamas militants on Israeli border towns and Israeli military bombardment of Gaza. I strongly condemn the targeting of civilians and I urge an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation to prevent further loss of life. Our immediate focus must be saving lives, but our ultimate focus must be on a just and lasting peace that ensures safety for everyone in the region. Violations of human rights do not justify more violations of human rights, and a military response will only exacerbate the suffering of Palestinians and Israelis alike. As part of achieving a just and lasting peace, we must do our part to stop this violence and trauma by ending U.S. government support for Israeli military occupation and apartheid….

🧵 YDSA condemns the Supreme Court’s racist decision to outlaw affirmative action. This decision will undoubtedly cause public and private universities to become less diverse, increasing racial disparities already exacerbated by the exorbitant cost of education.

Our fellow DSA-LA members, @nithyavraman and @HugoForCD13, have now been arrested for standing in solidarity with @UNITEHERE11 and LA workers demanding change.
What do we want? Justice. When we don't get it? Shut it down. ✊
Los Angeles should be a city that lifts people up, not turns workers away. Solidarity with @UNITEHERE11
