The Ladies\, Femmes & Thems Reading Group invites other La dies\, Femmes & Thems to join us in a biweekly discussion of the full Wome n\, Race\, and Class text from cover to cover. In our group\, we will unpa ck\, learn\, and critique this early classic in intersectional feminist li terature through a socialist and anti-capitalist lens.

LFT will meet every other Tuesday\, 6:30-8:00 at the EBDSA Office wi th Zoom options.

Ahead of her peers\, Angela Davi s pioneers in her analyses of slavery\, womanhood\, the co-optation of fem inism by whiteness\, liberation in the words and minds of Black women\, se xual and racial violence and other topics. Women\, Race\, and Class gather s her essays into a single text. Many of us are already familiar with some of these essays. Most of us are familiar with Comrade Davis’ influentia l lore.

Conjoined analysis of race and gender are not distracti ons from socialist work\; they are essential to it. To deny one’s self a full understanding of how intertwined class struggle is with race\, gende r and sexuality\, is keep yourself intellectually circling the drain.

The book is organized into 13 essays\, which we’ll be discussing o ver 13 meetings. So if you aren’t available for every meeting\, or if yo u’re late joining\, you can still come!

Come join us to watch a screening of The Encampments\, a doc umentary capturing the development of the Student Intifada and nonviolent resistance movement calling for BDS (Boycott\, Divestment\, & Sanctions)\, which served as the inspiration for our own DFA campaign.

It was th e our intention to export those principles of the student movement to the larger civic arena of local government\, giving citizens outside the colle ge campus another option to opt into the BDS movement.

We come toget her during these trying times\, with escalations both with the Israeli gen ocide on Gaza and with settler violence in the West Bank\, to collect our spirits and fortify our resolve. Please join us for this event and become part of the larger movement!

-------

Update: we'll be joined by some comrades who have bravely taken part in the encampments at their university campuses! Looking forward to sharing this empowering experience with our audience!

Join the East Bay DSA labor committee as we discuss Jane McA levey’s No Shortcuts: Organizing for Power in the New Gilded Age. No Shortcuts is about the hard fundamentals of what separates advocacy and mobilization\, from “organizing”. McAlevey examines several case s tudies that tease out why only a “whole worker” organizing model can w in transformational changes that build long term worker power. It is an am azing resource for both “rookie” and experienced organizers alike and a great read for anyone interested in learning more about the labor moveme nt and strategies for building progressive power in America today.

I n this session we will cover the first two chapters of the book. A brief s ummary of the reading will be provided at the beginning of the session\, s o while reading along is highly encouraged\, it is far from necessary. If you RSVP\, we can provide you with a PDF version of the book\, so please R SVP ASAP!

We are in a dark political moment. Oligarchs rule blatantly and brutally. We are sliding day by day toward authoritarianism and fascism. Trump leads the h orrific attack on trans folks\, immigrants\, and the movement for Palestin ian liberation. The administration is cracking down on workers rights and unions.

It’s clear that the Democratic Party le adership is structurally incapable of effectively fighting back. They are beholden to capitalists’ whims\, and they refuse to empower a bold worki ng class movement.

The Democratic Party won’t t ake action\, but we WILL!
How do we make sense of this moment that we are struggling through? And what can we do to FIGHT BACK here in the East Bay?
*This is a monthly community me eting - stay tuned for the theme for August's Fight Back!*

ICE has sent mass text messages to migrants in immigrati on court proceedings to report this weekend\, 8am-4pm\, at the ISAP office in SF (478 Tehama Street)\, or face an “infraction.”.
Weekend reporting is unheard of. This likely a trap to enable mass arrest\, but we * turned up in sufficient numbers to prevent them opening the office on Sa turday (and redirecting migrants that came to lawyers).

No we need to do it again!
This is an unprecedented situation\, but on Saturday we had the numbers to ensure this was a peaceful action. \;
