COVID-19 is exacerbating the housing crisis. Rents continue to rise, the landlord class prospers, and the working class continues to get squeezed. But our chapter is part of the growing movement to change all of this. We are putting principles into action and loudly saying: housing is a human right!

Boston DSA has formed a Rent Control Campaign to coordinate housing justice issues in the current moment. We will organize to fight for the immediate demand of today-- an emergency cancellation of rent and mortgages -- and pave the way for further mobilizations to win state-wide rent control.

Each monthly meeting will be held over Zoom. Please register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMvce6trjMiGdOTAMMCFhrWenx5CuE6t3mp

Everyone new to socialist activism is invited to a four-session intro reading group on the basics of socialism, based on Jacobin's lively pamphlet, “The ABC’s of Socialism”.

Each session will discuss three or four questions raised in “ABCs” that are the kind you are likely to get into with workmates, family members or fellow activists. Topics will include “Why do socialists talk so much about workers?”; “Doesn’t socialism always end in dictatorship”; “Don’t the rich deserve to keep most of their money?” among many others.

We want this reading group to provide a basic knowledge of socialist goals and analysis in a low-key atmosphere which, we hope, will make learning fun and motivate new DSA’ers to get more deeply involved in the work of our chapter. There will also be opportunities to learn about the different campaigns of our chapter and how you can get involved

The first session will be on Tuesday September 8 and in total there will be four sessions (September 15th, 22th, and 29th). There will be about 35 pages of reading for each session. "The ABCs of Socialism" can be downloaded for free here: https://s3.jacobinmag.com/issues/jacobin-abcs.pdf.

Hey Comrade,

Living under capitalism is hard. We want a better world, but for the mean time, those of us with burdens are really struggling. This is a safe space to decompress, and share struggles and successes so we keep going. Self-care is important, and sometimes it works better together.

Do you love socialism and posting? Do you have skills in email-writing, calendar-managing, social media, and other officey stuff from your corporate job that you'd like to use to smash capitalism instead? Do you hate canvassing and would prefer to just draft emails for the revolution? Are you good at graphic design (because I'm not and could really use some help on that front)? Then the newly rebooted Communications Committee wants YOU! *World War II recruitment poster pointing*

This Committee is open to all members in good standing, but is only open to members. If you are not a member but are Comms-Committee-curious, you are still welcome to call in, or you can DM us and someone from the Comms Committee will be happy to chat with you about what kind of stuff we do.
