DSA tensions

Samuel Townsend June 19, 2024.

There has been a targeted racist campaign of lies, manipulation, deceit, innocent people being used, maliciousness, vengefulness, attempts of relationship-breaking, and more that has been ongoing for over a year now by a group of opportunistic wrathful white people aimed at me.

The Unsafe People that are doing this is Jessenya Salinas, Jordan Danner, Finn MacQuarrie, Maxine Arlt, Kyle Durkee (Hyena), Kai Sousa (Fatima), Hollie Oakes-Miller, Gary Miller, Jr., & Anjel Craig.

They are members (or Co-Chairs) within Salem DSA, Oregon CPUSA, Oregon AFL-CIO, Salem For Palestine, Salem Dissenters, Capital Pride, Wild Witches of the Willamette, White Rose of the Willamette Valley, & finally The HOARDD.

They are also actively trying to take over Salem DSA via winning the upcoming Steering Committee (Leadership of the chapter) elections. A big part of this is them targeting key Current Steering Committee Members in their actions. They are the direct reason why the Radical Pride Rally was cancelled. They are the reason why a lot of y'all are getting contacted by some of these people, being given a twisted version of everything. They went out of their way to manipulate an innocent woman and are the reason why Logan Stewart had that breakup. And yes 3 of them are the direct reason why I'm no longer Say Gay Co-Chair. There's a lot more than that unfortunately.

Me & my girlfriend almost broke up because of all of them. Even when I don't interact or engage with them, they will go out of their way to follow me into different organizations to continue this campaign. Some of them worked with Salem Radical Queers to spread misinformation on me last June. They are a big part asto why the RPR got cancelled back then. If I don't do what they want & comply, then they go & tear me down.

Ecosocialists for the PRO Act

Salem Democratic Socialists of America was live. Ap12 2021·

"The PRO-Act and Democratic Socialism: Workers and the World Unite!"

Join Portland and Salem DSA Ecosocialists for a teach-in on the PRO-Act live on Zoom, Facebook, and Youtube on April 12, 2021 from 6:30-8:00 PM PST. Learn why the PRO-Act is the next best step towards a more just and sustainable world for all people, and how you can immediately help to make it a reality.

Winning a Green New Deal or any transformative change under Biden requires powerful labor and climate movements working in solidarity—the PRO-Act will eliminate roadblocks that prevent workers from building power and open the door to a revitalized labor movement that will fight for the change we all need.

Fundraising against Ballot Measure 105

Bob Rossi October 15, 2018 ·

The Salem Chapter of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Salem's Racial Justice Organizing Committee partnered to raise funds for the fight against Ballot Measure 105 last Saturday and to do some canvassing. The Salem-Keizer Education Association was kind enough to offer space and good times. We raised $615 in a get-together that lasted less than 45 minutes. Here is a photo of some of us.

We obviously play well with others. So, please feel good about turning out for our DSA meeting on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 1:00 PM at 3850 Portland Rd NE #100---members and friendly non-members needed! And remember our community conversation on implicit bias scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 15 at 6:00 PM at 2540 Coral Ave NE in Salem.

There will be an especially important bilingual community conversation on the fight against Ballot Measure 106 on Friday, Oct. 26 at 5:30 PM at 3850 Portland Rd NE #202. Please show up!

Con lucha, paciencia y determinacion, el pueblo triunfara. — with Jeff Pullman and Jan Caroline
