Ballot or the Bullet: A Malcolm X Birthday Discussion
2025-05-17 @ 19:00 - 20:00
https://actionnetwork.org/events/ballot-or-the-bullet-a-birthday-reading?source=direct_link&Join us on Malcolm X's birthday to discuss his iconic piece, "Ballot or the Bullet". Given in the context of the 1964 presidential election, it advocates for both the strategic use of the ballot and for the possibility of violent resistance to the state. Most importantly, it elucidates his ideas concerning Black Nationalism, and is in fact a key part of the development of that ideology and the people that were to follow him. Be sure to join us!

Labor Committee Meeting
2025-05-19 @ 18:30 - 20:00
https://actionnetwork.org/events/may-labor-committee-meeting-2https://actionnetwork.org/events/may-labor-committee-meeting-2
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.
Agenda to come
