Becca Miller is a proud democratic socialist, a renter, a climate justice organizer and a bisexual woman. She is running for Somerville City Council in Ward 7 because the climate, housing, and food security crises worsened by the pandemic require transformative governance.

So come help us talk to voters in Somerville's Ward 7! We're going to win this campaign by having meaningful conversations about the conditions of voters' lives and how we can create a safer, more equitable city through democratic socialism. And we need your help to do it! Sign up and let's get organized!

Everyone new to socialist 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”.

Each session will discuss three or four questions raised in “ABCs” that are the kind you are likely 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 first session will be on Monday, May 17th and in total there will be four sessions (May 24th (Monday), June 1st (Tuesday), and June 7th (Monday)) on Zoom. There will be about 35 pages of reading for each session.

For the first session please read the first two chapters (Isn't America already kind of socialist? and But at least capitalism is free and democratic, right?), as well as the chapter Why do socialist talk so much about workers?

"The ABCs of Socialism" can be downloaded here: https://s3.jacobinmag.com/issues/jacobin-abcs.pdf. Please email abcsofsocialism@gmail.com for more info

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 8 p.m. to 9:30 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.

Join Roxbury residents and Northeastern students to plan how to get more people involved and active in the campaign! We will be discussing canvassing, postering and more. If you have ideas for building for the rally on June 14th, let us know!

We demand:
1. Stop gentrification: Northeastern administration and President Aoun should halt the plans to build a Luxury dorm at 840 Columbus Avenue
2. Build more AFFORDABLE housing: the Boston Planning and Development Agency, Mayor Marty Walsh and soon to be Interim Mayor Kim Janey should construct a high quality, union built, publicly affordable housing complex for Roxbury residents at 840 Columbus Avenue.
3. Make dorms affordable: no student should have to pay luxury prices, all dorms should be affordable to all students.
4. Implement rent control and tax corporations and the big universities to fund high quality public affordable housing for all.

Project Right to Shelter is phase 1 of a larger emerging Project Right to Housing. It demands that our elected officials take immediate action to protect the current homeless population under COVID-19 through temporary placement in hotel rooms, while also pressuring them to pass guaranteed housing legislation into law. Project Right to Housing is being piloted in Cambridge, MA, but it is easily replicable in other local communities across the nation. This project challenges local governments to adopt a housing first model. Once phase 1 is completed successfully then phase 2 will be enacted, which will ensure that all residents are provided with permanent housing within six months of their residence at a hotel or motel. We are at a critical juncture where we have made significant progress on attaining non-congregate shelter for unhoused community members in Cambridge, but while we continue to organize for this demand we are now ready to shift into building out phase 2 of this project.

Project Right to Shelter will not solve every struggle in the homeless community. It does not immediately alleviate the long-term issues that have left them to live on the streets. But it does grant residents protection and dignity in an incredibly vulnerable moment, and it does it in a way that benefits cities and communities. In the long term, through phase 2 of Project Right to Housing, we hope that this project will lead to a greater focus on the provision of housing and building support structures for every resident of our city, state, and country. In the meantime, now is our chance to demonstrate to the world that local communities truly care about all community members.

Read our proposal and get involved by attending our open weekly meetings on Mondays from 6-7pm.

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 Boston DSA Coordinating Committee meets semimonthly, usually on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month. We will be meeting online only for the foreseeable future.

We use these meetings to brainstorm and address administrative issues in the chapter. The Zoom link and CC meeting notes are posted in the #ask-cc channel in the chapter Slack. In addition, you can email the CC at boston-dsa-coordinating-committee at googlegroups dot com.

All CC meetings are open to the general membership, but not to the general public. On specific occasions where the CC is handling sensitive information, it may go into executive session for a portion of the meeting; this will be made known beforehand.

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.

Boston DSA is currently seeing massive growth. We need to make sure we are doing everything we can to activate our members and engage them in the work of transforming our communities. This training will focus on how to engage in effective conversations to get DSA members and the broader community actively involved in organizing. We will cover the importance of making an ask, the 6 specific steps in an organizing conversation, and best practices for engaging in organizing conversations during social distancing, and practice these skills with each other. This skill will be particularly useful in keeping active members engaged in DSA work during this time of social distancing, but it is also a key skill for all organizers to learn and practice.

Project Right to Housing is being piloted in Cambridge, MA, but it is easily replicable in other local communities across the nation. This project challenges local governments to adopt a housing first model. Once phase 1 is completed successfully then phase 2 will be enacted, which will ensure that all residents are provided with permanent housing within six months of their residence at a hotel or motel. We are at a critical juncture where we have made significant progress on attaining non-congregate shelter for unhoused community members in Cambridge, but while we continue to organize for this demand we are now ready to shift into building out phase 2 of this project.

Project Right to Shelter will not solve every struggle in the homeless community. It does not immediately alleviate the long-term issues that have left them to live on the streets. But it does grant residents protection and dignity in an incredibly vulnerable moment, and it does it in a way that benefits cities and communities. In the long term, through phase 2 of Project Right to Housing, we hope that this project will lead to a greater focus on the provision of housing and building support structures for every resident of our city, state, and country. In the meantime, now is our chance to demonstrate to the world that local communities truly care about all community members.

Read our proposal and get involved by attending our open weekly meetings on Mondays from 6-7pm.

Let's put the social back in Socialism! Everyone knows that nothing compares to hanging out and socializing with comrades in-person, but since that's not possible due to Covid, this is the next best thing! Take the opportunity to socialize with members of the chapter, as well as cope with the social isolation imposed by the pandemic.
