DSA New Members Meeting
Do you think everyone deserves healthcare and education? Do you think nobody should be too poor to live? Do you think lives are worth more than profits? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be a socialist.

Work & Wellbeing
Can we create a space in which it's possible for people to connect and interrogate work's place as a source of meaning in our lives, both personally and socially? This is an opportunity to look beyond conversations around burnout/self-care to instead practice imagining bolder orientations toward work and wellbeing (i.e. abolition of work, embracing degrowth, disembedding ideas of mental health from capitalist structures internally and externally)

Defying Displacement: Author Reading & Discussion
Among the most visible social conflicts in cities around the world are those around gentrification. The transforming compositions of gentrifying cities today has profound impacts on the possibilities of collective liberation. Activists and residents in struggle—dozens of whom are interviewed by Lee to inform his work—are charting the way forward to affordable and sustainable cities run by the people who inhabit them.

For Times Such as These: Author Reading & Discussion
Join Rabbi Jessica Rosenberg for a reading and discussion of For Time Such As These: A Radical’s Guide to the Jewish Year. With a chapter for each month of the Hebrew calendar, For Times Such As These offers spiritual practices and holiday rituals rooted in movements for racial justice, decolonization, feminism, and queer and trans liberation.
