Organizer Training

Kkkkkkkkkkk09.PNG

On June 11th 2022, Tacoma & Pierce County Democratic Socialists of America held our first Organizer Training for the Home in Tacoma For All campaign.

Campaign Coordinator Ty Moore set the stage with the help of UFCW 367's vice president Michael Whalen, who described the HTA platform.

Long time activist and organizer Andrea Shapiro shared her experiences with theTacoma Tiki Tenant campaign, which passed Tacoma's first iteration of a renter's bill of rights by organizing displaced tenants.

Zev Cook and Kiss'Shona Curtis from @stp_tacoma then described the facets of capitalism's housing crisis.

Finally, Eric and Camille from the @houseourneighbors campaign discussed their struggle for social housing in Seattle.

The training itself was led by DSA organizers Devin Rydel Kelly and Prachi Goyal, and participants learned and practiced how to have an organizing conversation, geared towards talking about the HTA campaign on the street or in the workplace.

Endorsing Rebecca Parson

Democratic Socialists of America March 17·

Zzzbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzhdsa.PNG

DSA is proud to endorse Rebecca Parson for Congress, WA-06, a local organizer running to represent the working class of Tacoma and nearby counties. Her Democratic primary will be August 4th, 2020. Parson’s campaign is also endorsed by Tacoma DSA and West Sound Democratic Socialists of America because she’s running to give everyone a home and end homeless in America. She will be the fighter and organizer we need to win Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and a Homes Guarantee.

As a queer woman, she understands the need to fight the diverse working-class and will lead the charge to defend the women’s rights, the LGBTQIA+ community, disability rights, indigenous communities, labor rights, and everyone in the working-class majority.

Locally, Parson has been a committed organizer and activist. She served on the Tacoma Area Commission on Disabilities, helped win new tenant protections in Tacoma, advocated for foster children, and more. Washington’s 6th District needs a representative for all of us — not just the wealthy few. It’s time for bold solutions, and Parson is the organizer we need to get us there.

The South Sound Democratic Socialists of America serve the area of Tacoma, Puyallup, Sumner, Federal Way, Frederickson, and surrounding communities. We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.[4]
