Pittsburgh DSA is turning out members and allies to attend a session of Allegheny County Council's Public Safety Committee, where members of the committee will be discussing an ordinance to amend the Allegheny County Code of Ordinances to add a new “Jail Rape Elimination” article to strengthen protections against rape and sexual assault at Allegheny County Jail. This is an issue which disproportionately affects transgender arrestees and inmates. We will be showing up at this meeting as a visible form of public support for the ordinance.

Please RSVP here.

Join us for a socialist creative writing workshop! During this workshop, we will offer feedback on creative writing and do some exercises together to generate new writing. The goal of this workshop is to hone our work and create new work. RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/socialist-writing-workshop/

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.

The final meeting of the pilot publication steering committee and editorial board, finalizing the publication for print.

Pittsburgh DSA hosts a monthly happy hour for workers to gather, build bonds across workplaces, and talk about organizing. We will be meeting at East End Brewing from 6:30-9pm. Bring a co-worker, invite your unionized friends and your yet-to-be-organized friends, and enjoy the solidarity!
