Direct Service & Health Justice: Brake Light Clinics/Health Fairs

Coming in June, Direct Service and Health Justice will be holding two Brake Light Clinics, one at the Northshore Robotics STEM Festival in Covington, Saturday, June 6th at 701 N Tyler St and another Saturday, June 20th in New Orleans at 1800 AP Tureaud Ave that will be accompanied by a Free Health Fair. If you want to come out and volunteer for either of these events, reach out to the Direct Service and Health Justice Committee and get plugged in and be sure to join us, 6pm every second and fourth Tuesday of the month to help us plan these events or bring us a new idea.

Ecosocialists: Come See What We Can Grow

We’re getting together to kick off an Ecosocialist Working Group! Come learn how we can get our hands in the dirt to build community power! Join us Friday, June 12, at the Healing Center, 2372 St Claude Av #258, or online. RSVP to let us know you’re coming.

Member Cohort Spring Graduation

Join the New Orleans DSA’s second member cohort as they graduate from the Spring cohort class! These courses are designed to help members become more familiar with the New Orleans DSA, get more comfortable talking about our work, and strengthen connections and camaraderie with our fellow comrades. Come out to Skeeta Hawk Brewery June 14th from 2-5pm to meet them and click here to sign up for the next cohort if you’re interested in deepening your involvement with the New Orleans DSA. Solidarity!

Poli-Ed Reading: My Traitor’s Heart

This month, join the Political Education Committee as we read My Traitor’s Heart: South African Exile Returns to Face His Country, His Tribe and His Conscience, an autobiography by Rian Malan that focuses on his relationship with South Africa and its people as a white colonizer related to the powerful Afrikaners who helped establish the Apartheid system. We will meet at 5pm Sunday June 21st at the Healing Center (2372 St Claude Ave, rm 258) to discuss the book. Feel free to join us, even if you haven’t had a chance to read the book. The conversations are always for everyone!

Save the Date for Local Convention, June 27

June 27th, 12-5pm at First Grace UMC (3401 Canal St) will be our annual local convention. With the large growth in our chapter, this convocation of our members is a great way to meet members, hear political arguments, and engage in planning our next year of organizing. We’re hoping for our highest attendance in years, so please save the date and make plans to attend. Childcare will be provided. RSVP today.

More Chapter Orientation Times

You spoke! We listened! We are now adding two weekday Chapter Orientations per month. Not everyone has free weekends, so we are expanding to ensure we can connect with as many comrades as possible. Join us on the 3rd and 4th Thursday of every month at 6:30pm where you can learn about DSA, engage, and get better plugged in. Those new to the Chapter are highly encouraged to attend, as well as current members to lend insights, answer questions from new members, or even learn something new yourself!
