WANT A FREE HAT FROM THE MDC DSA MERCH STORE? RECRUIT THREE COMRADES BY MARCH 1ST!

At its meeting on February 15th, the Steering Committee resolved to launch a chapter Recruitment and Recommitment Drive ending on March 1st, the deadline for delegation apportionment for the DSA National Convention in August. The number of delegates is determined by the number of members in each chapter, and the more delegates we have, the more collective power we can wield on issues important to the growth and development of our chapter and organization as a whole. To sweeten the deal, we are going to redistribute some Metro DC DSA hats from our merch storeIf you can recruit three new comrades by March 1st, we will give you a free hat of your choosing!

We are currently looking into generating unique recruitment links for members who would like to participate in the drive, so keep an eye out for more information on that – and on the National Convention – in the coming days! Additionally, if you would like to get involved in the Recruitment and Recommitment Drive more directly, please get in touch with Dieter L.M. (@dieter) on Slack or email dieter@mdcdsa.org

Defund MPD

Here in DC, militarized policing is terrorizing black and brown communities instead of keeping people safe. Its bloated budget starves our communities of resources and diverts money from non-police violence reduction programs. You can send Mayor Bowser and the D.C. Council a letter here demanding we fund social programs that directly benefit the people of DC
