Informal Meeting: Deliberate Over Memphis-Midsouth DSA’s Future Efforts

March 28 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC-6

Join with members and guests to discuss resolutions proposing new organizing committees and efforts for our chapter. This is a chance you have to influence our organizing future!

If you need the meeting location or want to propose an additional resolution, please email at memphisdsa@gmail.com.

Resolutions read and discussed/debated at this meeting will likely be put to a vote at our General Meeting on April 9th at 6pm.

The two proposed Organizing Committees we are currently moving forward with are:

  1. Legislation and Representation
    Focused on representation reform on a municipal and state level, efforts for new laws or regulations, and occasionally electoral campaigns.

    1. Examples of its work range from overturning anti-Boycott Divest and Sanction laws to changing the meeting times of the Memphis City Council.
  2. Point of Production
    Organizing to build the labor movement and to support cooperatives as well as other pro-worker businesses.

However, if there is another area of work you want us to establish a committee for, please get in touch! Our Steering Committee is committed to helping facilitate the work you want to do toward a socialist future. For example, we have a preponderance of educators in our chapter. Perhaps they want to form an Education Organizing Committee aimed at free, quality, and truthful education at all levels?
