Alt text 1: DSA Chapters are getting Strike Ready!
Alt Text 2: How can your chapter get Strike Ready? Pass the Strike Ready resolution, elect solidarity captains, review the strike ready chapter kit, have members take the strike ready pledge, hold a fundraiser for the DSA Labor Solidarity Fund
Alt text 3: Strike Ready Pledge: Over 340,000 Teamsters at UPS work are gearing up to fight for better pay and treatment on the job when their contract expires on August 1, 2023. If the company doesn't respond to their demands, they are preparing to take part in the largest strike in American history. Workers need to support each other as we fight for a better world. I'm going to be strike ready for UPS Teamsters if they decide to strike. I pledge to never cross a picket line!
Alt text 4: What is a Solidarity Captain? Solidarity Captains will get trainings on best practices and important information like where your UPS hubs are and what Teamsters Local to reach out to. We'll connect solidarity captains with guidance from workers on when they need public support.
DSA Labor has launched our Strike Ready campaign, aimed at supporting labor struggles across the country in 2023, including the UPS Teamsters’ contract fight. If your chapter has not already, please propose the strike ready resolution to your chapter!

Everyone is painfully aware of the cost of living crisis in King County. Our economy needs to belong to the working class, and a strong minimum wage is a great start. In Renton, the most vulnerable workers are falling behind their peers in KC. Consider volunteering today!

Tiffani wins social housing 🏡
@TiffaniMcCoy1
Sounds like Senator Jamie Pedersen is holding up this funding for the Seattle Social Housing Developer. Wrote an email back saying City of Seattle Voters should foot this bill. Seattle Voters taxes also help fund the State so, maybe he needs to be reminded about that.

Tired, broken "tough on crime" politics was rejected in Chicago despite the usual outpouring of funds and BS from right-wing gargoyles.

NEW: @Brandon4Chicago has won his election for mayor of Chicago. This is a win for the history books. Brandon Johnson just defeated a wave of far-right money and misinformation thanks to people power and his positive vision for a safe and thriving Chicago.

Seattle has suffered a terrible loss with the passing of Elijah Lewis. Elijah empathized with disaffected youth rather than villainize them. He never gave up his fight to make his community safer. Funds will be used for his burial and family expenses, consider donating today.

In TN and FL, legislators are being ejected, and peaceful protesters are being forcibly removed or arrested, all for expressing their right to free speech and raising their voices in opposition. This is fascism in the open, which will only get worse unless it is stopped.

Rep. Justin Jones
@brotherjones_
Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.” Media forced out at as well. Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone. This is a sad day for Tennessee.

In 2022, 10/10 "failed states" were capitalist. If you're looking for a more realistic alternative, consider socialism. We organize for a rational government, and we want to expand in 2023. Consider donating to our staff fund, Seattle deserves better! zurl.co/9DSV
