The If We Burn Book Club, hosted by San Diego DSA, will read and discuss Vincent Bevins’ new book in an online/in-person setting in March and April 2026. The group will reflect on the mass protest movements of the 2010s -seeking to understand their origins, evaluate their results, and debate what socialists in the USA can learn from the past cycle of struggle. The group will meet mostly in-person at San Diego library locations and will host social meet ups to get to know each other better. More importantly, the San Diego DSA will identify what makes our movement/organization different or similar to the mass protests/groups of the missing decade that failed and theorize what DSA can do within the current moment of American politics in order to achieve our goals.
