  • DSA San Diego Endorses Hands Off Iran March July 7

    DSA San Diego endorses the Hands Off Iran! march Sunday, July 7, hosted by @PSLSanDiego and Answer San Diego! We invite our members and allies to march with us to tell US imperialists loudly and clearly – HANDS OFF IRAN!

    The march starts at the Balboa Park fountain at 3:00 pm:

    The United States of America recently celebrated breaking from colonial rule, but today, its neocolonial arms extend across the globe. Those who resist its ruling class hegemony become targets to be undermined, sanctioned, or bombed.

    Their target du jour, Iran, is no exception. The nation liberated itself from a western puppet government and has been resisting the US and its allies since. As a result, the US has targeted Iran with a series of provocations, threats, and manufactured crises designed to push the public towards support for war. They have been targeted with sanctions, in violation of international agreements.

    The Trump Administration, Republicans and Democrats in Congress, and the mainstream media establishment are vigorously attempting to manufacture consent for military conflict. The people of the world have seen this farce before. We will not stand idly by as our nations are dragged into bloody conflict in the cynical pursuit of profit, at the expense of the lives of the Iranian people. We will stand up and make our voices heard – NO WAR ON IRAN.

  • Bowling for Abortions

  • International Day of Action – events January 11 and January 12

    Join DSA San Diego and the San Diego Migrant and Refugee Solidarity Coalition as we call for justice at events on January 11 and January 12. On November 25, 2018, our previous international day of action, the Trump administration earned worldwide infamy by viciously attacking those seeking asylum with tear gas and rubber bullets – an assault repeated in the dawn of this new year – the earliest hours of January 1, 2019. Day after day, the administration’s obstructionism continues, with the initiation of asylum cases slowing to a crawl and implementation of a grotesquely inhumane “Remain in Mexico” policy pledged to be imminent.

    Our rally convenes at noon at the Customs and Border Patrol office in San Ysidro (311 Athey Avenue). For more details, confirm your attendance through the Facebook events.

  • Supporting Migrants and Refugees

    At our November 18 chapter meeting, DSA San Diego endorsed our participation in a robust coalition of San Diego grassroots organizations who are united in our solidarity with members of the Central American Exodus. (Text of the original resolution here.) Since inception, the San Diego Coalition for Migrant and Refugee Solidarity has organized a high-profile international day of action and strengthened the ongoing humanitarian relief effort in Tijuana. Thousands of asylum seekers continue to await the consideration that is their due in conditions where their safety and health are fragile at best, nutrition is minimal, and their rights insecure.

    As many of us join our loved ones in celebrating the holidays, we invite you to consider making a gift to support members of the exodus through the Coalition’s designated fund steward, Otay Mesa Detention Resistance. The entire amount of your donation will be used to purchase the food, bedding, hygiene supplies, and medications needed for the care and sustenance of asylum seekers.

    Gracias por todo – solidaridad.

  • DSA San Diego joins Rise for Climate Day of Action – 9/8

    SAVE THE DATE – On September 8 DSA San Diego will join thousands of people marching locally and around the world in the Rise for Climate day of action, demanding immediate action on climate change. As proponents of ecosocialism, we hold there is no such thing as a capitalist solution to a crisis caused by the most world’s most affluent economies, and that real action means dismantling the global capitalist order and promoting just, ecologically sensible society in its place.

    Activities begin 10:00 a.m. in Civic Center Plaza with a rally and short march to South Embarcadero Park. Join us and represent!
