This is a virtual event

Our next meeting will be Sunday January 31st, 12PM PT / 3PM ET. The meeting is only open to DSA members in the QSWG. Invite your comrades to join the working group so they learn about future events and register for this event to receive a Zoom link.

The first half of our meeting will be dedicated to getting to know one another over a game of Queer Socialist Bingo! Members will get a chance to join multiple small group breakouts and get to know their comrades better from around the country.

The second half of our meeting will be dedicated to a group discussion of the role of the labor movement in the struggle for queer liberation. Everyone should read this article, written by Sara Nelson, in advance of the meeting. The article explains how the flight attendants union, AFA-CWA, led the charge in the workplace for antidscrimination ordinances and marriage equality.

“Some of the earliest wins for LGBTQ rights happened not in a courtroom or in a legislature, but at the bargaining table...That’s why I tell people all the time, start in the workplace and the politics will follow.”
