2023 Steering Committee
The 2023 Steering Committee (SC) is made up of volunteers from different chapters. Members are recommended by other members and approved by the National Political Committee (NPC).
Members are Cara Tobe Co-Chair / Louisville, Marc Krause Co-Chair / Los Angeles, Nafis Hasan Philadelphia, Jeff Glass Austin, Soleil Smith Chicago, Sarah Arkebauer, St. Louis, Poornima Tata, West Suburban Illinois, Johnathan Guy East Bay, Nicole M., New York City, Ashik Siddique, Metro DC, National Political Committee, Matt Haugen, Pittsburgh, Katie H, New York City.
Eleven members comprise the new Steering Committee (SC) of DSA’s Green New Deal Campaign Commission (GNDCC). The 2021 GND Priority Resolution, passed at this year’s convention, tasks the SC with coordinating DSA’s national Green New Deal campaign work — designing external campaign strategy, recruiting and cultivating organizers, establishing internal campaign infrastructure and acting as national representatives of DSA in climate and labor coalitions, with the ultimate goal of winning an ecosocialist Green New Deal consistent with DSA’s GND Principles.
This year's PRO Act and GND for Public Schools Campaigns were only the beginning of our work. For the next two years, SC plans on building on that work of mass, labor-oriented campaigns to make DSA a major influence on national — and international — climate policy.
New members are Nafis Hasan (Philly); Sarah Arkebauer (St. Louis); Jeff Glass (Austin); Fares Abdullah (at large, CA); Daniel Goulden (NYC); Poornima Tata (West Suburban IL); Devin Collins (Jacksonville); Marc Krause (Los Angeles); Johnathan Guy (East Bay); Nadia Schwartz Tykulsker (NYC); Abhiyant Singh (NYC); and our co-chairs are NPC members Gustavo Gordillo and Ashik Siddique.
