Pittsburgh DSA has endorsed the Anti-Trump Action Committee's protest against ICE kidnappings, deportations, and detentions in Pittsburgh. The protest will be a peaceful rally near the ICE headquarters on the Southside, standing in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. We hope to see you there!

Join PGH DSA's Film Screening of Partners, a film about how Starbucks workers started a labor revolution! We'll hear from members of Starbucks Workers United and watch the film together at Glitterbox Theatre.

Accessibility: Glitterbox has 2 non-gendered ADA accessible restrooms, accessible parking, a minimal door lip upon entry and flat surfaces to all theater locations and bathrooms
Starbucks baristas have won union elections all across the country, but still haven’t won a fair contract. The company has been dragging their feet in negotiations, making laughable financial offers, and announced a “restructuring” plan that would close 10% of union stores.

The holiday period is the most profitable time for Starbucks, who relies on a “progressive” reputation that their actions undermine. It’s a particularly urgent moment for DSA to show up and support these workers to win.

Each month, the labor committee meets to discuss articles concerning labor organizing tactics, strategy, theory, and history.

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.

Labor committee meets on the 4th Monday of each month at 6:30PM over zoom.  RSVP for the zoom and agenda

Encounters with non-socialists of many stripes - from the socialism-skeptical to the socialism-curious - are opportunities to listen, connect, and even find new comrades. Join us to discuss how to prepare for these conversations. Tentatively a part 2 will follow next month.

Join the Internal Organizing Committee for a regular meeting to discuss the bones of organizing in PGH DSA--onboarding new folks, keeping members engaged, developing leaders, planning socials, etc. Only DSA members may attend.

Control of our own bodies is a fundamental human right which is frequently under attack by fascists. The Bodily Autonomy Committee strives to realize bodily autonomy for all individuals through reproductive freedom and freedom for individuals to choose how their bodies align to their genders.

This committee meets the first Thursday of every month. Members and guests are both welcome to join our meetings and events!
