The struggle for freedom and against capitalism is the demand for the needs of every person to be met: not only for the things we need to physically survive, but also for the survival of our spirits. We demand not only bread, but roses, too.

To that end, and with the intention of building a supportive creative community of like-minded artists, the Socialist & Anti-Capitalist Writing Workshop has been formed. The workshop is sponsored by Pittsburgh Democratic Socialists of America, though you don't need to be a DSA member to participate.

Join Steel City Socialist to learn how to write like a journalist! Journalistic writing has a particular style that may not be intuitive, but can be learned. We need grassroots journalists to report on local stories for Steel City Socialist. Part 1 of 2 in a series. https://pghdsa.solidarity.tech/journalistic-writing-workshop

Join us for some craftivism at our Whistle Kit Packing Party!

We'll assemble whistle kits with safety resources, informational materials, and other supplies for community distribution. Whether you're a seasoned organizer or new to the campaign, this is a great opportunity to contribute, meet fellow volunteers, and help support our neighbors. No experience necessary.

We encourage you to wear comfortable clothing and bring alternative seating options, such as a yoga mat, camping chair, or floor pillow (not required!).

DSA's Mutual Aid Committee Members will provide plenty of snacks.

If you're unable to attend but would still like to contribute, please reach out to liz2776@proton.me

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.

We will be electing our new committee leadership at this meeting.

Join us for a DSA 101, open to new members and curious non-members! Learn what DSA is doing to meet the current political moment and how you can get involved in the socialist movement.

The orientation will be an hour and a half with opportunities to hear from members and ask questions. We will follow it with a social hour afterwards.
