Proud of who we are, of what we build, of our neighbourhoods, our children, our communities, our cultures, our faith and our institutions. Dedicated to sharing power, sharing responsibility, sharing the workload and sharing the rewards. Stronger than we could ever be alone, we will work together, side by side, shoulder to shoulder, to build a better future for all of us.

The Sons and Daughters of Liberty: For Common Sense and the Common Good, We join in Common Cause

Context:
Glyph and I thought it was odd as we were reading Enlightenment writers that nobody is really writing up a Common Sense for the modern century. We decided in the absence of that we would start up an affiliate organization called the SaDoL. It's still in the rough preliminary stages but the main idea of the group is to:

1. Provide an opportunity for collaboration across chapters within a region
2. Create and distribute socialist literature framing it with themes from the American Revolution and Enlightenment figures
3. Support and promote organizations and institutions within our local communities. We want to be community builders and seen as a positive force within them.

This is just my two cents, but I think it's not the best tactic for another reason: the DSA isn't a charity, it is a political organization that needs to build a labor movement by getting allies. The DSA is a group with limited resources and everything has to have two purposes, accomplish something good and also help the overall goal. Homelessness is a loving tragedy but handing out gift cards doesn't accomplish anything meaningful nor does it build allies because the majority of homeless people are not in the position to be part of a political movement. You'd be a lot better off helping working families get groceries for their kids and then turning them into political allies.

Just my thoughts

Helping the homeless, veterans, poor working families and senior citizens is exactly what we should be doing - they are the disenfranchised either by means or by lack of options aside from same as usual politicians, and are exactly the group of people we need supporting us. The only suggestion I would say when doing these things is take pictures and let local reporters know that a bunch of dirty socialists are helping out those in need in their communities.

The discussion about diversity (a topic of fundamental importance) a few pages ago gave me an idea.

Does anyone's DSA chapter have an outreach committee? My idea for the goals of such a community include:
-Establishing connections with minority advocacy organizations, listening to their concerns, and facilitating the involvement of DSA members in their activities.
-Organizing group volunteering efforts that have a direct impact in the lives of marginalized populations (shelters, food banks, naral, etc.)
-Directing campaigns to expand the public presence of the DSA while promoting the ideals of socialism. (Maybe pamphleting?)
-Conducting communication training sessions.
And, hopefully, as a byproduct
-Increasing the representation of minorities within of the DSA and promoting a culture of diversity and inclusion.

I'm a new DSA member so such committees may already exist and I just don't know about them, in which case the problem might be that my chapter's committee isn't promoting themselves as well as they could be. A cursory google search didn't reveal much.

Any input?

These are good ideas.

Twitter just seems like such a bad means of expression. It's just void-shouting with a high probability of being misunderstood and of understanding others. I don't see why people use it for anything other than sharing events and information.

That's precisely why you don't use A1. If you do, you'll drown out the natural flavor and practically ruin a great cut of meat.

I actually find the word "bro" incredibly off putting.

Seriously, I get pretty self-conscious whenever someone calls me bro, even when they meant it positively. I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with me.

sup bro

also just co-opt the word paisan. It comes from the root word peasant, means "countrymen/friend" and people just think you are maybe Italian mobsters or something.

I've been quiet, but I've got an impending small roomate moving in that's probably going to take up a lot of my time for the next decade or so. I'm rather surprised I was only able to find a handful of local DSA people online, but we're holding regular monthly meetings and getting some new people interested. The problem with my handful is we can never get everyone together at one time. I'm tempted to just try an online meeting soon at some point to see what everyone's interest/willing engagement is, as we are still two people shy from siging their name to OC paperwork, and I have a husband/wife that initially said they were down to signing, then haven't responded back to that at all. I'm working with national to get in contact with some members who are just living under rocks for whatever reason.

Meh.
