The No Appetite for Apartheid Campaign is a national campaign to create Apartheid-Free Zones in local businesses throughout the nation. This campaign builds solidarity and accountability using BDS (Boycott Divestment and Sanctions) tactics. We aim to spread the mentality of BDS to consumers, workers and store owners.

Join us to discuss the organizing of the Pittsburgh No Appetite for Apartheid Campaign! Meetings are open to all! In this meeting, we will discuss our campaign progress, reflect on our tactics, take feedback and develop new opportunities to get more involved. We will also plan our monthly meeting and business canvasses at this meeting. We need your help to make Pittsburgh Apartheid-Free!

The Electoral 201 is all about the strategy! We know that it takes good planning to run a class struggle electoral campaign and win! But what steps are necessary to make informed decisions as a chapter? What makes for a good goal? What are the most important tactics? What is the path to victory? Join us on June 13th at 3pm ET to find out!

Join fellow Pittsburgh DSA members to take this training as a group, so we can use these skills to build our electoral power locally.

This is an in-person gathering where we will take the virtual training together on one screen. The location is in the city of Pittsburgh. Exact address will be sent out a few days before the training.

Meeting of Pittsburgh's local of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC). Those currently organizing with EWOC and those who want to volunteer with EWOC are welcome.

EWOC helps workers at any workplace organize to form a union or to demand changes from their boss.  We support workers organizing at any workplace and provide training to build collective power.

Join us for a New Member Orientation, open to non-members! Learn what DSA is doing to meet the current political moment and how you can get involved in our movement.

The orientation will be a quick hour and a half with opportunities to hear from members and ask questions. We may also go out for food together afterward if folks want!

Workers have tremendous power to fight back against a system that treats them like dirt. As socialists, we believe the workplace is a key site of struggle that connects members of the working class and shows them the collective power they have to win a better world.

Pittsburgh DSA supports labor organizing through:

-Solidarity with workers (Supporting their picket lines, rallies, and other calls to action)
-Helping to mentor workers looking to organize their workplaces (through EWOC)
-Connecting socialists and union members who want to make their unions stronger, militant fighting organizations
-Developing and training our members and the community.
