Direct Service & Health Justice: Brake Light Clinic/Health Fair

Tomorrow, June 20th, Direct Service and Health Justice will be holding a Brake Light Clinic and a Free Health Fair at 1800 AP Tureaud Ave from 11am-2pm. We will also be collecting signatures for the recall campaigns against Jeff Landry and Liz Murrill (and Sid Edwards if you are an East Baton Rouge resident). If you want to volunteer for this event, fill out this form and be sure to reach out to the Direct Service and Health Justice Committee. Join us at 6pm every second and fourth Tuesday to help us plan these events, or bring us a new idea, or make a donation to our mutual aid work to ensure we can keep serving the community.

Robert’s Rules Rampage

Convention is upon us! Are you ready for it? Do you relish diving into the parliamentarian mosh pit, flinging amendments and shouting, “Point of order?” Do you secretly wish you’ll be called on to overrule the Chair? Come learn how to navigate the mechanics of Robert’s Rules of Order, the structured framework we use to conduct orderly, fair, and efficient meetings. Join us for a learning session on June 20th, 6-7:30pm, at QiQi (2021 Foucher St).

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 Av #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 plan our next year of organizing. Please save the date and make plans to attend. Childcare will be provided. RSVP today.

Landry/Murrill Recall Campaign: Monday Night Collection Events

New Orleans DSA is collecting signatures to recall Governor Landry and AG Murrill, Mondays at 2372 St Claude Av from 5-8pm. We’ll do this every Monday, and we encourage anyone who wants to help to fill out this form and reach out to the Recall Campaign. If you know of a location that would hold a recall signature drive, please join us on the Discord server and we can help you build out that idea.

Merch Pre-Orders Open Now!

We’ve got a new store page where you can order t-shirts locally! We’re printing a new batch soon, so get your orders in before Monday to ensure we reserve one in your size. You can also check out our new Skulls, Roses, and Solidarity design exclusively on our Good Press page here.

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!
