Providing volunteer childcare at meetings and events is a great way to support caretakers and our youngest comrades, but for many, working with children may feel unfamiliar or intimidating. Join the Socialist Feminist committee as we review and practice some of the skills we all need when providing childcare. We'll go over setting-up a safe and fun childcare environment, conflict resolution strategies, and how to get your clearances to be a childcare volunteer.

This is the monthly Housing Committee meeting where we will be discussing our coalition work in building a tenant's union, the rolling distribution of our zine, and developments happening in Pittsburgh. Come learn how to get involved!

Our next Socialist Feminist Brunch Potluck will be on Sunday, March 1st from 11:00am - 2:00pm at Assemble on Penn Ave! The purpose of these social events is to create a recurring safe space to discuss topics that mainly affect women, non-binary, and other gender-diverse comrades. For this reason we ask that cis men not attend this event.
This brunch is potluck-style and is open to all anti-capitalist feminists, so feel free to bring friends and family! We’re trying to reduce the amount of waste we make at brunches, so bring your own plates, mugs, and cutlery.

February meeting for the Communications Committee--we'll plan mass-texting, email, and social media promotion for upcoming chapter events.

Are you interested in learning Spanish? What about teaching it? PGH DSA is planning a few different language-related projects for the coming months. For those who already speak intermediate (or higher) Spanish, we will be holding conversation groups for members to practice, as well as to learn vocabulary that can be particularly useful for organizing, community outreach and supporting Spanish-speaking members of our community. These groups will be facilitated either by those with Spanish teaching experience, and/or by native speakers. If you want to participate in these groups as a learner, OR if you have teaching/Spanish experience and want to help with planning and leading the groups, we will be planning these events together at this meeting.

If you’re interested in learning Spanish, but don’t have any experience, we also want to see you at this meeting! We are hoping to launch a weekly “course” this summer for beginners, and we need your help and input to make those lessons as useful as possible.

Finally, we’re considering launching an English conversation group alongside the Spanish one, as a form of mutual aid for the growing population of immigrants in Pittsburgh who are working to learn English. No teaching qualifications needed to help with this one - just a willingness to talk with people who are learning English and help them out as needed.

If you’re interested in getting involved with any of these initiatives - as a learner, a teacher, an organizer, etc. - please come out on March 11! Snacks will be provided.

Join us for our monthly labor committee meeting to discuss exciting projects we are taking on this upcoming month.
