DSA-LA's Candidate Forum - Saturday, September 25th!

Start: 2021-09-25 15:00:00 UTC Pacific Daylight Time (US & Canada) (GMT-07:00)

End: 2021-09-25 16:30:00 UTC Pacific Daylight Time (US & Canada) (GMT-07:00)

This is a virtual event

All DSA-LA members in good standing are invited to join the Electoral Politics committee in an open forum with Los Angeles City Council Candidate and DSA-LA member Hugo Soto-Martinez. Running for Council District 13 in 2022, Hugo is seeking endorsement from our chapter, and this decision must be made by our chapter membership.

LA City Council Disrict 13 is a unique among upcoming elections. The district has hundreds of dues paying DSA-LA members within its boundaries, almost twice as many as the next City Council seat to be contested. This is a race where our chapter could play a huge, visible role, if we so decide.

The forum will feature an open discussion and Q/A period with the candidate, a summary briefing of the race and district, and a recommendation from the ElPol Committee. The event will conclude with closed deliberation among our membership, after which balloting will begin on the endorsement question.  

Join your comrades on September 25th at 3pm to decide on the first phase of our chapter's electoral work.
