Join DSA Movie Night at the Broad
Please join our first ever movie night at the Broad Theatre, in conjunction with Gap Tooth Media! On Wednesday, September 24th, we’ll screen the critically acclaimed The Act of Killing, which recounts the US-backed mass killings of 1-2 million of communists, leftists, and others in 1965-66 Indonesia. We expect tickets to sell out, so get yours soon.
Keep Up With the Candidates at Endorsement HQ
Election Day is October 11 and New Orleans DSA has four endorsed members running for City Council. Pastor Gregory Manning, Danyelle Christmas, Jackson Kimbrell, and Bob Murrell are making calls, knocking on doors, and attending candidate forums. Volunteer, donate, and follow these campaigns at our Endorsement HQ.
Fall 2025 Voter Guide Team Weekly Meeting Tomorrow
Every election, New Orleans DSA publishes our voter guide analyzing the key issues in each race through a socialist lens. This is a volunteer effort by comrades in the chapter, and we want you to join us! We’ll be at Coffee Science, 410 S Broad St, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Bring your laptop and all of your longstanding grudges against our local oligarchs. Get in touch with Aaron Z for more info.
Introducing Neighborhood Circles
We’re making neighborhood circles to connect people where they live, work, and anywhere else they spend time. Use your circle to host gatherings, plan events, and organize around issues in your neighborhood. If you’re interested in joining our newly formed neighborhood circles, opt in here. Neighborhood circles will follow the chapter’s code of conduct and guidelines for respectful discussion.
2025 DSA Membership Survey
Members in good standing are encouraged to fill out our quick 2025 Membership Survey for us to get a better sense of who our membership is overall and to guide our actions as a chapter.
Do It Jewett for US Congress District 1
Union teacher and New Orleans DSA member Lauren Jewett is running for US Congress, LA-01. Lauren has been a public school special education teacher for 17 years, standing up for the things that working people in Louisiana deserve: dignity, a life we can afford, thriving opportunity, and actual protection and recovery from major storms and disasters. She knows that workers are the hands, hearts, soul, and backbone of our state and our country. We deserve a representative who believes that and acts like it. Stay tuned for more campaign updates for Lauren, and help us kick off her candidacy with your financial support.
No Contract, No Coffee! Support a Starbucks Worker Strike
Starbucks workers are demanding a fair union contract with the staffing, hours, take-home pay, and on-the-job protections they need to do their jobs. They are part of our community and part of the fabric of our daily lives. They are neighbors. They are workers. They deserve a fair wage. When they fight, we will support them. And when they strike, we will not cross the picket line. Show your support and sign the pledge. We will not patronize any Starbucks store when baristas are on strike.
