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.

PGH DSA's Political Education Committee is hosting a reading group for Marx's Inferno, by William Clare Roberts.

How did republican political movements and the fight for democracy interact with the rise of industrial capitalism? Who were Marx's major theoretical opponents on the Left? What was Capital meant to do for its readers, and how has it been received? We'll discuss all these questions and more during this reading group.

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 link 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 ahead of the winter holiday season!
