DSA delegate

I’m running to be a Twin Cities DSA delegate to the 2021 national convention. I hope to earn your vote! My work in DSA since 2017 includes neighborhood organizing as a Steward, Medicare for All organizing and canvasses, former chair of the Health Justice Working Group, DSA for Bernie and other electoral volunteering, helping with the Eviction Moratorium pressure campaign, Upper Midwest Regional Organizer for both DSA M4A + DSA for Bernie campaigns, technical support with several digital chapter tools, etc.

My #1 priority is strengthening the largest socialist organization in the heart of U.S. empire into an effective mass multiracial organizing vehicle for the working class — one that, following the lead of the global working class, will play a decisive role in defeating racial capitalism. I believe this means deepening organizing trainings, political education, and support for DSA members everywhere — especially in Southern and rural chapters. It means throwing down for abolition work, mass labor organizing, Medicare for All, tenant/neighborhood organizing, immigrant rights, a Red New Deal, and electing socialists to local office. Most importantly, it means showing solidarity for the international working class by building ties with mass socialist parties and movements across the Global South opposed to Western Imperialism and the forces of global capital.
