It's our annual May Day Picnic! Join together with various left groups and unions to celebrate the working class with food, drinks, comradery, music, and fun! Invite your friends and family as well as anyone curious about leftism or forming a union!

They shouted and we listened! Come take a hike with some socialist friends and enjoy some of the great parks that the Pittsburgh area has to offer! You do not have to be a member of DSA to attend, if you're a lefty or are interested in learning more please feel free to join!

Please be sure to bring water and snacks, wear comfortable shoes, and check the weather the day of to dress appropriately! Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Come join us at Shotry's Pins x Pints (in South Side). This is an event for DSA members and non-members alike to mingle, play games, and have fun! Bring friends!

Welcome to the Jane McAlevey Reading Group! We are reading through Raising Expectations, a chapter at a time. Please acquire the book if you have not already done so. We will be discussing chapters 11 through to the end of the book. If we have time, we also have some supplementary material to look at, provided to us by Steph:

Join DSA comrades at YINZ Coffee (Friendship location) for some leftist brunch vibes! Since it is mother's day, we'd be happy for any local or visiting moms to join as well! Everyone is welcome, you don't need to be a member.

In this group, we will be discussing In Defense of Housing: The Politics of Crisis, by Peter Marcuse and David Madden. It explores the historical and structural roots of the current housing crisis, as well as laying out the psychology of tenancy and homeownership. It also provides strategic advice for how to think about the steps required to solve this crisis. For this meeting, we will be discussing chapter 4. More limited facilitation notes will be provided this time, as a change of pace.

Join Pittsburgh DSA for our May General Meeting! At 6 PM there will be a Potluck and social hour before the meeting business starts at 7:00. Bring friends and family who want some free food and drinks.

Once the meeting gets going we will have committee report backs, a political education segment, and discussion over any business brought to the chapter internally and externally.

After the meeting ends there will be a post-meeting hangout at the Evergreen Café (7330 Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15208)

This meeting will be hybrid--the in-person portion will be at Community Forge, 1256 Franklin Ave., Wilkinsburg, PA 15221. To access the virtual portion, RSVP for the Zoom login!
