how the Fed’s policies affect workers and the world economy. The Night \r
School will specifically cover the effects of The Fed’s policies on \r
Metro DC DSA priority campaigns around housing, climate, and labor and \r
address current issues related to inflation, the debt limit, and bank \r
failures. It will aim to help members and organizers react to monetary \r
policy and other macroeconomic constraints that affect their organizing \r
work and connect them to organizing around debt-related issues.The \r
Night School will be held in-person with a live stream available to \r
virtual attendees. Non-members and members are encouraged to attend and \r
there will be a happy hour following the in-person event!Tim Barker is\r

contemporary American history. Tim is the author of “Other Peoples \r

the future, and how to get involved.The Social Housing Working \r
Group seeks to educate Metro DC DSA chapter members and the general \r

support of the passage and implementation of the Green New Deal for \r
Housing Amendment Act.The legislation proposes to create \r
mixed-income, district-owned housing with market rate units that \r
subsidize a larger number of affordable units. It’s a pioneering \r
approach that deepens affordability, invests surplus funds into the \r
creation of more social housing, and locks-in financial sustainability. \r

boards with oversight over building management.This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.\r
