Howdy comrades, at DSA newest official chapter Sun Valley DSA is protesting Allan&Co annual billionaire summer camp. This year they will have their first trillionaire and we are standing up with DSA chapter from around the region along with locals and other leftist groups. This is the first ever type of action in this area. Please share on your social and spread the word! July 11th 2026 Ketchum Idaho.
“In the past, our community has sucked up to the corporate parasites and oligarchs that infiltrate here every July. Without caring to hold the Epstein class to real accountability. Without standing up and showing how deep our understanding of class can really go here.
Here at SVDSA, we want to make it clear these billionaires aren't welcome and we want our community to feel the power of uniting together, knowing our real power in organization that weighs over any of the bourgeoisie.
We have been pouring planning and energy into this for months now. If you would like to assist in a structured capacity beyond simply showing up, email us at sunvalleydsa@gmail.com.”
The fossil fuel giant BP has been one of the big winners of the Iran War, reporting first-quarter profits of more than $3.2 billion, doubling from the same time last year. Unsurprisingly, that wealth has not been trickling down. For more than three months, they’ve locked out more than 800 workers at the largest refinery in the Midwest for refusing to sign a contract that would lay off more than 100 union members and weaken safety protections. That’s a lot of folks in and around Whiting, Indiana going without a paycheck, but the folks at United Steelworkers Local 7-1 are holding strong.
🤜🏻 We can sign the United Steelworkers’ demand to BP that they return to the table and bargain in good faith here. We can find details on how to donate goods and funds for strike support to the local here or to the Food Bank of Northwest Indiana, who have been supporting hundreds of local families while their breadwinners are on the picket line, here. 🤛🏿
Tenant activists in Kansas City have come together to secure a fair deal for renters in three buildings in the North Indian Mound neighborhood. Now the landlord they got to the table is failing to live up to his end of the bargain. Among other issues, he has abandoned his commitment to relocate six families who have gone more than two weeks without power, leaving some sleeping in their cars. He has found time to show these deeply dilapidated buildings to prospective buyers, though.
💬 The KC Tenants Union is asking folks to reach out to the landlord and push him to keep his word to the renters. We can find contact information and language to use here. Let’s stand with these folks organizing their neighborhoods! 💬
Hotel staff with UNITE HERE Local 8 are on strike at the Embassy Suites Pioneer Square near Lumen Field in Seattle. They’re pushing for higher wages, health care coverage, a return to pre-pandemic staffing levels and safety from ICE enforcement. 🫱🏻🫲🏿 We can join the strike support team to help support or join pickets and contact hotel customers here, especially if we’re local, and donate to their strike fund here. 🫱🏾🫲🏼
In Philadelphia, Unite Here Local 274 members working at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown are on the picket line, demanding $30 an hour wages and a daily quota for housekeeping workers as their employers hope to make money off the Cup and America’s 250th. 🗣️ We can follow along with their progress here and reach out to the Sheraton to encourage them to reach their employees fairly here. We can also donate to their strike fund here and sign up for picket support here if we’re local. 🗣️
Working people are flexing their muscles outside of the host cities, too. In Crockett, California, 91 warehouse workers from the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 6 are entering their second week on strike from C&H Sugar. Management is proposing cutting their annual sick days in half, doing away with benefits for retired workers and denying overtime pay, and they’re fighting for a fair deal. 💵 Let’s help them secure it by donating to their strike fund here. 💵
This November, we’re going to have an opportunity to send a direct message to the billionaires and the politicians that we’re fed up with it and ready for real change – and protect health care from Trump’s Medicaid cuts at the same time.
Last week, California’s Secretary of State certified that the SEIU-backed billionaire wealth tax initiative secured enough signatures to make it to the ballot. This proposal would be a one-time, 5% emergency tax on their assets to shore up the state’s health care system in the wake of the MAGA murder budget. Organizers offered a compromise 2% levy, which Governor Newsom, who opposes this measure, shot down. So now we’re going to fight this one out on the campaign trail. ✊🏿 Let’s sign up here to get notified of volunteer opportunities in the coming weeks and use their social media toolkit here to help spread the word in our networks. ✊🏻
Hi everyone. I began work on forming a West Virginia chapter to the DSA a few days ago and we already have 9 people in our server I believe. There is also an adjacent chapter in Eastern Kentucky developing and they just held their first meeting with me joining as sole representative of my group. We're officially combining into one effort moving forward. As of now the Discord servers are still separate but we're working to get that sorted in the next meeting.
PLEASE, if you have any questions and you're in either area, please contact me via DM for the appropriate server link.
This is happening now & it's happening quick and if you CAN be involved I promise you want to be and we certainly want you with us.
Thank you.
What change would you like to see them bring? What makes you want to vote for them, other than the fact that they are DS? And how do you think Mamdani is doing?
