Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America

IN GENERAL, WE FOCUS ON EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR APPROACH TO ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND RACIAL JUSTICE, AND THAT INCLUDES GOING TO COMMUNITY EVENTS, PRODUCING LITERATURE, ETC. AS PART OF OUR PROGRAM. WE SPEND MONEY ON COMMUNITY EVENT FEES, ART SUPPLIES, FOOD AND WATER FOR VOLUNTEERS, ETC. AS PART OF THAT WORK. WE ALSO DO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TENANT ORGANIZING, WHICH ENABLES TENANTS TO BAND TOGETHER TO FORCE THEIR LANDLORDS TO FOLLOW RELEVANT LAWS, AND SPENT MONEY ON LITERATURE FOR THAT, AS WELL AS SENDING MANY TENANT ORGANIZING VOLUNTEERS TO A CONFERENCE. WE ALSO SPENT MONEY ON LITERATURE TO INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT A BALLOT INITIATIVE TO RAISE THE TIPPED MINIMUM WAGE, ON EVENTS ENCOURAGING POLICE REFORM, ON MATERIALS TO ADVOCATE FOR PUBLIC CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL UTILITIES IN OUR AREA, AND ON SUPPORT FOR LABOR ORGANIZING WORK.
