Red Star recommends delegates support a motion to divide the question on the DemComm Omnibus to separate NPC Expansion and DemComm rechartering from other planks, and vote those two items down while passing the rest of the omnibus together.

Ready to vote for Megan Romer for National Co-Chair!
Small and rural chapters like mine need all the support we can get, and during Megan's time as Co-Chair she came out for a chapter visit and to guest speak at our last New Member Orientation. There's nobody I'd rather have for Co-Chair!

This 2025 DSA convention, delegates will be faced with the same choices for national co-chair they had in 2023. What makes this different? Because now you know Megan Romer. We're here to tell you why this working class mom deserves your vote for DSA co-chair.

We know that the U.S. officially celebrates its own version of Labor Day in September, but we celebrated with the rest of the international community on the original holiday, May Day. This year, we commemorated the holiday by showing "Haymarket: The Bomb, The Anarchists, The Labor Struggle."
