Socialist Night School: Sign Up for the Second Event!
STL DSA’s first Socialist Night School of 2021 was a success! Now, it’s time to sign up for the second event — Race & Class — which takes place next Tuesday, June 15, at 7 pm.
If you haven’t yet done so, Use this link.
We’ll be meeting every other Tuesday night from 7 - 8:30 pm, CDT, over Zoom from June 1 through July 27. This night-school series is intended to create a climate of political discussion, comradely debate, and shared understanding. Our classes will provide a unique educational atmosphere — one detached from the dominant, competitive for-profit model and rooted in the political struggles of working people. Everyone is welcome to come to any of the sessions. Please feel free to invite family and/or friends, as well.
Each night school event will come with short readings to help ground our discussions. Find the rest of the Socialist Night School lineup under “Upcoming Events,” below.
Join the SocFem Book Club!
If you haven’t yet signed up for the Socialist Feminist Working Group’s book club, now is the time to do so! The group has voted on and selected the first book: Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Davis.
To sign up for the book club, follow these steps:
1) Use this link to create a Bookclubz account.
2) Use this Doodle poll to indicate your availability to meet. (Note, we’ll be meeting once at the beginning and once at the end of July).
Once we have the July book club dates confirmed, we’ll send a note out to the Bookclubz list, so you know how to receive a free copy of the book (courtesy of DSA).
