Join us tomorrow for our monthly action forum! If you’re new to RI DSA, this meeting is a great opportunity to learn, meet people, and dip your toes into some of our work.

As prominent progressive politicians come out in favor of expanding the police force, we’ll be taking the first part of the meeting to discuss how socialists should fight the power of the police state. Then, we’ll break out into groups to 1) write and design RI DSA flyers, 2) discuss opportunities for coalitions and united fronts, and 3) plan a big push to gather signatures for Jewish Voice for Peace’s ballot initiative to divest the City of Providence from genocide.

Rhode Island DSA came out yesterday to support Starbucks workers at University Heights in Providence who are voting to unionize. Starbucks management did not like the legal, non-disruptive solidarity action organized by and they tried to shut it down — including by illegally sending their workers home.

Workers and bosses are not on the same team, which is why the working class everywhere needs to organize!

Yesterday, RI DSA showed up to support members who are fighting for a fair first contract. Medical residents provide enormous value to Rhode Island Hospital, but they work 80-hour weeks with barely enough pay to afford rent. That’s why they’ve organized a union. When workers unite, we have power!

Brittany Kubicek, RI DSA’s independent socialist candidate for the State House, spoke today at the rally for medical workers who are fighting for their first contract. Rhode Island Hospital, negotiate with your workers and give them the pay and benefits they deserve!

Join us tomorrow to support unionized medical residents who are fighting for their first contract! The capitalist healthcare system exploits both patients and workers. Rhode Island Hospital must come to the table and negotiate a contract that does not underpay or understaff!

RI DSA’s general membership meeting is tomorrow! We will be joined by a DSA member from Argentina’s Party of Socialist Workers, whose presidential candidate currently has the highest approval rating of any politician in the country. What can we learn from the success of Argentina’s revolutionary left in leading the opposition to the far right?

After the discussion, voting members of RI DSA will consider several resolutions.

TODAY at 5:30: Join Brittany, socialist candidate for State House of Representatives, for a panel discussion with healthcare workers. They’ll break down the problems caused for both patients and workers by the for-profit healthcare system in R.I., and how we can fight back!

🌹Tomorrow (Thursday) at 7 p.m., Pawtucket Public Library🌹

With elections on many people’s minds, we’re kicking off this week’s Action Forum with a reading of “Danger Ahead” by Eugene Debs. Learn from Debs about why socialists must avoid chasing votes — and how the real path to freedom comes through the revolutionary organization of the working class! After a short discussion, we’ll break out into groups to work on producing political videos, make plans for the future of healthcare organizing in RI DSA, and discuss how we as socialists relate to broader protest movements.

We just wrapped up two days of May Day rallies and celebrations in Providence! More than 100 years ago, capitalist politicians in the U.S. suppressed the international workers’ holiday in favor of a toothless “Labor Day” in September. Today, May Day is celebrated by more and more Americans, who are fed up with the status quo. Onward to a general strike!
