The minimum wage in Oklahoma has been $7.25 since 2009. We live in a whole new world now, and our workers are still getting left behind in the 00s.

Next Friday on May 15, the OKC chapter of Democratic Socialists of America (OKC DSA) is hosting a screening of Palestine 36 at the Oklahoma Film Exchange, in commemoration of the 78th anniversary of the Nakba. This it to not only remember what had been lost but to also remember stories of defiance, resistance, and hope. The film tells the story of the Great Arab Revolt more than a decade before the founding of the State of Israel, when the people of Palestine bravely resisted British rule. Stay afterward for a discussion on the lessons of history and how we can apply them to liberation struggles today.

Join us on May 14th for a night of community. Bring a craft, hobby, ongoing projects or work of any kind, or an idea for a mutual aid project you want to workshop! Sandwiches fixings will be provided, side dishes, desserts, and beverages are potluck. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members, friends of DSA, and people completely new to organizing/mutual aid are all welcome.

Have any crafting or art supplies you don’t use anymore? Bring them along with you to drop off and we can make sure it gets to one of our local free artists closets in OKC!
