I know DSA gets dunked on here pretty hard, so hoping we can have a constructive conversation about how to make things better.

It's a smaller chapter in the deep south. There's a mix of people including MLS, Anarchists, and some baby-leftists. No and we make fun of Democrats all the time.

Attending Palestinian rallies and supporting the Palestinian rights orgs in our area
Tabling at Pride
Brake light clinics
