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

The group starts on Monday October 10th and runs for four weeks (Mondays, October 10,17,24 and 31). All sessions are 7:00-8:30 PM.

To Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kcO2oqz8uHtVNRBVYFftZNNc2RBpE4QbL

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

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

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.

"The ABCs of Socialism" can be downloaded here:

Reading schedule for each session:
October 10
“Isn’t America already kind of socialist?”
“But at least capitalism is free and democratic, right?”
October 17
“Why do socialists talk so much about workers?”
“Don’t the rich deserve to keep all of their money?”
October 24
“What about racism? Don’t socialists only care about class?
“Doesn’t socialism always end up in dictatorship?
“Wouldn’t a more democratic world just mean a bigger environmental crisis?
“Is socialism a western concept?”
October 31

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? 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.

It’s in making decisions that we learn to decide." - Paolo Friere, Pedagogy of Freedom

Boston DSA's Political Education Working Group meets on the last Thursday of every month at 7 pm, unless we have to move it for a holiday, which happens more often than you'd think.

PEWG's goal is to provide our members with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to organize effectively and strategically, and to educate the wider public on DSA's vision for a socialist future and the often-erased leftist movements of the past. PEWG hosts a number of ongoing projects, such as the chapter's political education blog (bostonpewg.org), our Socialist Night School series, and periodic New Member Reading Groups (abcsofsocialism@gmail.com). We also run one-time (or a-few-times) events such as reading groups, lectures, and panel discussions; and work with other working groups in the chapter to run political education events related to their areas of organization.

Due to COVID, working group meetings and events will be held over Zoom until it is safe to meet in person. You can request to join the working group mailing list, where we send out meeting agendas and Zoom links, at https://actionnetwork.org/forms/join-the-political-education-working-group. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us at education@bostondsa.org.
