Each month\, the Socialism Beats Fascism Commit tee hosts a Community Meeting to discuss a pressing political issue that i mpacts us here in the East Bay. We've heard from teachers organizing to de fend their students from ICE\, federal workers facing crackdowns & fightin g to protect our public services\, a bus driver organizing his co-workers to push back against austerity\, a Palestinian organizer helping to stop w eapons shipments from Oakland to Israel\, volunteers helping workers union ize to fight back against the daily oppressions they face on the job\, and leaders of the successful fight to divest Alameda County from Israeli apa rtheid. Each meeting has been filled with rich community discussion as we process our political moment... and take action.
For every campaign we discussed\, we showed up later that month to ORGANIZE! Volunteers from the Community Meeting have given testimony at Board meetings against inves tment in apartheid\, flyered Oakland businesses with signs educating worke rs on preventing ICE from entering\, joined ICE watch patrols\, and so muc h more.
These Community Meetings are a special place -- and they take many hands! Join us on to see how you can can be part making this project successful!
Food provided -- invite your friends\, co-workers\, and anyone else you can bring to this existential fight.

This year is the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Ind ependence and its proclamation that all men are created equal\; that they have unalienable rights to life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness\; and that they have the right to establish governments to secure these rig hts. Trump and the Republicans have been wrapping themselves in the flag a nd claiming they are upholding these principles. The Democrats are also wr apping themselves in the flag and claiming only they can defend us against Trump by upholding the Constitution. Of course\, neither the Democratic n or the Republican Party is interested in universal and equal rights or a g overnment and economy created of\, by\, and for the people.
This pr esentation will explore the context\, contradictions\, influence\, & conte mporary significance of the Declaration's assertion of universal and equal human and political rights. It will argue that this assertion was and sti ll is revolutionary.
The presentation will be followed by a group d iscussion. Food will be provided. Folks can attend via Zoom or in person a t the EBDSA office.

It's time for us to pull those learnings together and set a course for building a party that can institutionalize the things th at work and make a factory for successes like Zohran's all across the coun try.

Team DSA al ready has 38 electoral wins nationally this election season! Last month\, democratic socialists won Democratic nominees for Congress across the coun try\, from New York to Colorado. This month\, East Bay DSA is going all in for one of our own: Nate Adams for Oakland City Council\, District 2.

Nate isn't a career politician or a real estate-backed candidate. He's a community organizer and a former co-chair of East Bay D SA\, rooted in the working families that built this city. Raised by a sing le mom who moved from rental to rental\, he's organized tenants against an abusive landlord\, helped win Alameda County's historic divestment from g enocide\, and spent years building people power from the ground up.
Now he's running to put that power in City Hall\, and his platform is exac tly what Oakland's working class needs:
Slash the re nt with real affordable housing and proactive tenant protections
Fix the streets and deliver the basic serv ices we've been denied
Fill 1\,000 city jobs so Oakland works for the people who live here
Ki ck ICE surveillance out: No Flock cameras spying on our neighbors
Accountability to the people\, not tech l obbyists\, crypto billionaires\, or big developers
And Nat e’s campaign represents just one piece of the electoral puzzle here in t he East Bay. In fact\, East Bay DSA’s newly minted Electoral Strategy wo rking group has been hard at work this summer\, building a plan to fight f or the needs of all people in the East Bay. Because the fact is that our c urrent elected officials are too scared to fight for us. But we aren’t.
That's why East Bay DSA is throwing our weight behind Nate\ , and our goal to build an effective electoral machine locally. C ome to this month's Community Meeting to talk about what YOU want your ele cteds to fight for\, meet Nate\, and find out how you can help get the wor d out about this campaign! We'll have ways for everyone to plug in\, wheth er that's talking to voters\, reaching out to neighbors\, or bringing a fr iend into the fight.
Food provided! Bring your friends\, your co -workers\, and your neighbors.

On May Day 2026\, East Bay DSA played a powerful role in an action to disrupt the Oakland Airport in support of the Oakland People's A rms Embargo campaign\, as well as centering our demands to tax the rich\, end US wars\, and abolish ICE. Hundreds of our members did not work\, and we also marched and rallied at additional actions across the Bay Area.
At our 2026 chapter convention in June\, we decided to spend the next year preparing to make our intervention in May Day 2027 even bigger and mo re meaningful\, establishing the May Day Working Group. We'll reflect on p ast successful labor actions in the East Bay\, discuss what a powerful May Day 2027 and 2028 could look like\, and talk about upcoming coalition act ions and how we relate to them as socialists.
We encourage in-perso n attendance\, but will have a zoom option available to listen in! You can get the zoom link by RSVPing. We'll have food and seltzers for attendees
We'll be discussing these two articles (we'll read a short excerpt d uring the meeting in case you don't have a chance to read them first)!

"The world I live in will be destroyed in my lifetime. The q uestion of what kind of world will follow it is entirely a question of whe ther we all manage to kill capitalism or it kills us first. It is therefor e instructive to find out how it was born\, what it has killed along the w ay\, and what has happened to past attempts to kill it\, or at least to ta me it."

On Saturday\, Ju ly 18\, join us at the East Bay DSA office for a moderated Q&A with Trevor Jackson\, Associate Professor of History at UC Berkeley\, on his most rec ent book\,The Insatiable Machine: How Capitalism Conquered the World. We'll talk about the history of capitalism\, but we'll also talk abou t why we're talking about the history of capitalism: Why should s ocialists know about economic history?
