East Bay DSA 2018 Convention Results

The East Bay DSA 2018 Convention has come to a close. This was a tremendous effort on behalf of the chapter's membership, including the candidates, authors and signatories of the two priorities resolutions, and the many volunteers who helped make the event possible.

Priorities Resolution

The membership voted to enact the Bread and Roses priorities resolution with 159 votes in favor of that resolution, 67 in favor of the Working Class Unity and Power priorities resolution, and 11 abstentions.

Vote Tallies
