The Mental Health Working Group aims to investigate, discuss, and confront the deleterious effects of capitalism on mental health. We address the material and emotional needs and respect and support the autonomy of neurodivergent individuals and those who struggle with substance use disorders.
The Mental Health Working Group's current projects include:
* The Comrade Rosie Project, comrade-rosie.org, a creative, collaborative, mental health support network, by and for the working class of Greater Boston.
* Monthly Peer Support Sessions, on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, a space where leftists can help each other process life under COVID and under capitalism
* Red Roses Writing Workshop, bit.ly/RedRosesWriting, a low-key creative workshop on the fourth Friday of every month. Comrades are encouraged to bring 1 poem or 2 pages of prose writing to share.
* Chill With Comrades, a social hangout on the 4th Tuesday of every month. Though hangin' on Zoom is not the same as socializing with socialists in person, this provides some unstructured time to get to know your comrades and remember that we are all just people, not organizing machines.
* The MHWG Google site, https://sites.google.com/view/wg-mentalhealth, to facilitate long-form writing, in homage to the historical "committees of correspondence"
* The Epoch of Incredulity, https://anchor.fm/epoch-of-incredulity, the working group's least safe for work side project. Since we cannot go to cheap dive bars after meetings anymore, the MHWG has attempted to recreate the experience via podcast.
We serve as a resource for other Boston DSA members as much as we serve the larger community. Thus, people need not be reserved about their struggles or hesitant to ask for help.
The Mental Health Working Group meets monthly on the first Tuesday of every month from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have moved all our meetings to Zoom. If you have any questions or for a copy of the agenda, check out the #wg-mentalhealth channel on the BDSA Slack, or email us at mentalhealth@bostondsa.org.

Do you love socialism and posting? Do you have skills in email-writing, newsletter-laying-out, 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 Boston DSA 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 DSA 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.

How has Cuba survived a sustained economic war waged by the United States for some 60 years?

Join us for an evening webinar as we discuss the impacts of the U.S. blockade of Cuba on the daily life of Cubans, on Cuba's medical system, and in the face of Cuba's attempts to confront climate change. Learn how activists and everyday people can play a part in ending this failed U.S. policy.

Our distinguished guests include Dr. Helen Yaffe, professor of economic and social history at the University of Glasgow, author of "We Are Cuba!" and filmmaker of "Cuba's Life Task"'; and Daniel Montero, journalist and producer with Belly of the Beast.

This event is co-sponsored by the July 26 Boston-Cuba Solidarity Coalition and the Boston Democratic Socialists of America.

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.

The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and Boston DSA members are recommitting to building a working-class movement this spring! Join a chapter phone bank for the Recommitment Drive. We're calling lapsed and expired members to:

- Rejoin DSA
- Plug into our chapter's priority campaigns to build rank-and-file power, support striking workers, and stop Uber/Lyft's attack on workers' rights

Sound like a fun time? We think so too!

We'll provide a brief training at the beginning of the phone bank to run through how we're approaching these conversations and how we're using the tech. Sign up for a phone bank shift!
