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!

SUMMARY:Community Food Distribution Pop-Up and Rally for the Unemployed
DESCRIPTION:Join us at City Hall to receive or donate food\, and to demand our leaders save our $600! The $600 per week in federal unemployment benefits has expired.

Many of us are restaurant\, bar\, and venue workers\, and our workplaces are struggling to stay in business. We need our unemployment! We feed you\, don’t let us starve!

SUMMARY:Austin DSA September Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Agenda to come! \nEvery month\, Austin DSA has a meeting open to members and prospective members. DSA is fighting to build a world where the working class are in charge. 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. And\, only the project of building socialism can stop climate change. \nOur monthly meetings are a great way to keep up with and plug into the work of our chapter. We’re currently working on a chapter-wide campaign to Defund the Austin Police Department. 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

SUMMARY:Austin DSA October Monthly Meeting!
DESCRIPTION:Every month\, Austin DSA has a meeting open to members and prospective members. DSA is fighting to build a world where the working class are in charge. 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. And\, only the project of building socialism can stop climate change. \nOur monthly meetings are a great way to keep up with and plug into the work of our chapter. We’re currently working on a chapter-wide campaign to Defund the Austin Police Department. 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:Green New Deal Now Bike Ride
DESCRIPTION:This is a matter of life or death. We are facing unprecedented times of health\, economic\, and climate catastrophe. Tens of thousands of Austinites are unemployed\, and more or working for less than living wages during a pandemic.

Join as as we remind our Congressmen that we need real solutions to these crises\, and we need them now! We demand: \n\nImmediate COVID-19 Crisis Relief (including $2\,000 per month for all) – to provide needed support for working class families across America\nA Green Stimulus (including investments in renewable Public Power) – to ensure that the recovery moves us toward a sustainable future\nA Green Job Guarantee – for a recovery that leaves no one behind in restoring millions of jobs lost during the pandemic\nThe PRO Act – that will help thousands of Texans win workplace protections\nThe Healthcare Emergency Guarantee Act – to get people the health care they need in this unprecedented time\n\nJoin us for a social bike ride to Congressman Lloyd Doggett and Senator John Cornyn’s offices. We will stop at their offices to roll out banners\, get photos\, and spread the message. We will be part of actions across the country to demand COVID relief and a Green New Deal!
