SUMMARY:Phonebank to #DefundAPD
DESCRIPTION:We’re coming into the home stretch! We are now at the point where there are amendments on the table before city council which would\, if passed actually remove $100 MILLION dollars from APD to spend on essential services and alternative first response. Something that would have been flatly impossible a few years ago is now just a few votes from being a reality\, but we have to work as hard as possible to make sure we get those votes! \nAustin DSA will be calling progressive voters in the districts of the swing council members to make sure they tell their council members to move forward on truly transformative reforms! We’re using an auto-dialer\, which makes the calls faster and more effective the more people who are doing it at once\, which means you should BRING A FRIEND (or comrade). We’ll be training folks to speak on the specific amendments\, and then working through our entire list!

Our socialist vision is that if the working class can get political organized\, every single person will have high quality healthcare\, housing\, and good union job.

We’re out at protests and we are organizing to build as much pressure as possible on City Council to defund the police to the tune of $100 Million — or more — and put that money into the social services\, jobs\, and housing that we need to thrive. \nStay tuned for a full agenda\, and make sure to RSVP in order to get the Zoom Link!

SUMMARY:Austin DSA Special Voting Meeting: Endorsements!
DESCRIPTION:Endorsements are a big deal for Austin DSA- we don’t just rubber-stamp lists of people who we think it would be good to have in office\, we pick campaigns that highlight the struggles of working-class people\, develop our chapter as organizers\, and give us leverage in future pressure campaigns! As such\, our endorsement means we will put organizing muscle\, membership\, and resources behind targeted campaigns\, and we don’t make those decisions without wide participation. \nWe’ve received endorsement requests from a handful of campaigns that have the potential for membership support\, and we need to have your vote\, to make sure we don’t move on anything that doesn’t have the full backing of our membership.

SUMMARY:No More Pipelines - Teach-In on the Permian Highway Pipeline and the Fight for Climate Justice in TX
DESCRIPTION:As the climate crisis unravels\, we are witnessing record wildfires\, massive hurricanes\, and intense heatwaves. Texas is a primary epicenter of the fossil fuel empire\, and further exploitation of the Permian Basin in West Texas will lock in catastrophic climate change. Kinder Morgan’s 42″-wide Permian Highway Pipeline\, designed to transfer fracked gas from West Texas to the Gulf Coast\, is an unacceptable assault on all forms of life.\n \n\nTogether with the global swell of movements organizing against structural racism and police violence\, now is the time to rise up and stop the toxic industry which threatens our health\, environment\, water\, and collective survival.\n \nDuring this Teach-In on Thursday\, October 1 from 7-8:30 pm\, we’ll hear from organizers involved in the fight for climate justice in Central Texas. The speakers will offer an overview of the Permian Highway Pipeline and other oil & gas pipelines in Texas\, the impacts of these toxic pipelines in our communities and our world\, and what a Just Transition can look like for Texas.\n \n\nRegister at bit.ly/NoMorePipelinesTeach-in\n\nSpeakers:\nMatthew Kim\, Youth organizer with Austin Climate Coalition and 350 Austin\nEddie Garcia\, Member of the Carrizo / Comecrudo Tribe of Texas\nRoddy Hughes\, Senior Campaign Representative at the Sierra Club Beyond Dirty Fuels campaign\nEmma Galbraith\, Youth organizer with Sunrise Movement ATX\nEmma Pabst\, Global Warming Solutions Associate with Environment
