Stand with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
We Stand with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was a 2018 letter signed by several Democratic Socialists of America members mainly from the DSA North Star in response to attacks on Ocasio-Cortez over remarks she made on Palestine.
- A recent petition circulated by some DSA members criticizes Ocasio-Cortez for supporting a two state solution to the Palestine-Israel question and not aligning with a long list of demands regarding Palestine and Israel. Should Ocasio-Cortez fail to agree with this list of demands, the petitioners are calling for DSA to revoke her endorsement. These attacks on Ocasio-Cortez have come despite the fact that she has staked out positions which will make her one of the strongest advocates of Palestinian rights and self-determination in Congress.
- We stand with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The position she has taken on Israel and Palestine are principled stances, worthy of a democratic socialist, in its recognition of both Palestinian humanity and rights and Israeli humanity and rights. On this issue, as many, she will be a voice for the voiceless in Congress.

Urgent Solidarity Needed with Federal Workers
JANUARY 9, 2019 DSA’s Democratic Socialist Labor Commission supports the federal workers affected by the government shutdown. Trump is trying to divide the working class as part of his racist agenda, but DSA members who are federal workers are speaking out and building solidarity.
Comrades,
As the federal government enters its third week of a partial shutdown, unionized government worker DSAers are asking their comrades for urgent solidarity to help end this racist game Donald Trump is playing, and ensure that the workers that provide SNAP benefits, maintain our national parks, manage our civilian infrastructure, inspect our food and medicine, and so much more can get back to serving the public and provide for their families.
On January 10th, government workers will rally in DC to demand that Donald Trump stop using them as political pawns in his racist agenda. If you’re in or around DC, join the rally. If not, call your congressional representative and both senators and demand they end the shutdown immediately and backpay all furloughed government workers as well as contractors. Ask that they work with Rep. Pressley to ensure that contractors as well as federal employees are backpaid for all time lost to the shutdown.
And if you’re near a federal worksite, such as an airport, where those deemed “essential” have been working without pay for several weeks, consider a leaflet action in solidarity to inform the public of our plight.
