Last week, we were honored to send a delegation of 40 DSA elected leaders and rank-and-file members from chapters big and small across the country to #Cuba, where they delivered hundreds of pounds of solidarity aid and learned about the achievements and challenges of Cuban socialism.

Yesterday, Chicago DSA joined the tens of thousands that filled the streets of downtown to demonstrate opposition to the Trump administration. We gave out leaflets about our campaigns and why we’re fighting for socialism and democracy as members of DSA. No kings, no bosses, no war but class war!

Trump is ready to platform every regional crank and reactionary to try to portray Portland as a war zone.

But he already lost this battle.

He’s been exposed (again) as a brazen liar who will say anything to get what he wants.

Trump doesn’t care about anyone, least of all the people of Portland

We were proud to join comrades across Europe and the world in Paris to demand an end to war and to strengthen international coordination against the genocide in Palestine.

We join their call to say: Not a penny, not a weapon, not a human life for war!
