Today we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities—past and present.

As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s commit to telling the truth about our history, protecting sacred lands, and fighting for justice that includes everyone.

SoCo DSA had a wonderful weekend in P-Town at Petaluma Pride and Coffee with Comrades! 🏳️‍🌈☕

But we're not done—there's plenty more on the horizon.

To stay updated on our upcoming events, lend your voice, and get involved, become a DSA member and join our Discord through the 🔗 in our bio! 🌹

Three smiling members standing at a table under a rainbow tent, flying the Palestinian, progress pride, and DSA flags blowing in the wind. There is a DSA poster taped to the front of the table, a red-and-white Wheel of Socialism atop it, and an assortment of snacks and water.

Two smiling members at the same table with their arms around each other. The Wheel of Socialism is more clearly visible, with options like Strike, Free Education, and Seize the Means of Production. Two Lego roses sit in a vase on the table.

A group of smiling members, some raising their arms, sitting around several tables in a coffee shop. There is a variety of art along the walls. One member is holding Rosa, our chicken mascot plushie.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

DSA Sonoma County endorses Prop 50. (2/2)

The right wants to lock us into a permanent fascist oligarchy, and corporate Democrats like Gavin Newsom hope that we’ll be satisfied with short term tweaks around the edges that don’t fundamentally address the problems that got us here in the first place. We have a different vision. We will continue to show up for our communities to win the immediate fights, including the fight to pass Prop 50, while also pushing for a better world that represents our values; building working class power to achieve real democracy in our politics, our economy, and our daily lives. In love and solidarity from SoCo DSA. (Pictured: our mascot Rosa the chicken)
