<br><br>Whether you're new to DSA or have been around for years, one thing's for sure: the learning never stops! Join us to help develop a political education program for the chapter so we can better apply lessons from history and theory to our contemporary lives and organizing work (and vice-versa!).

Day of  Mourning Interfaith Memorial Prayer Vigil

Last week we hosted a medic training there, and it was a SMASHING success. Since that training, within our chapter we have been talking about how we can better support organizers in Jefferson Parish, and how we can participate in ongoing actions without overstepping our boundaries. Together, we need to come up with a mutual understanding of organizing tactics, ways of communication, and agreement of different roles. Things we will discuss: 1) privacy & communication; 2) marshal roles/perimeter control; 3) de-escalation; 4) street medic overview; 5) group expectations.

This event is co-hosted with Greater New Orleans Caring Collective (GNOCC)
