The DSA Disability Working Group (DWG) has taken action regarding the recent NPC decision to hold an in-person only DSA Convention in 2023. Our first step was to submit our Proposal for a Hybrid DSA Convention to NPC, and this proposal would have been introduced at the 7/15 NPC Steering Committee (SC) meeting. But the discussion about having a hybrid format for convention was pushed to the 7/29 NPC meeting and along with it, our proposal. The full NPC Committee considered our proposal at the meeting and will be voting on this soon, but not before reviewing past convention information, including costs and attendance.

DWG continues to ask for an outpouring of support for making the DSA 2023 Convention hybrid, and thereby accessible to the greatest diversity of members. Accessibility benefits everyone, and the highest decision making body of our organization should be accessible to all of our members. Delegate representation and responsibilities should not be limited to those members privileged and abled enough to travel- delegating should be open to all members, and a hybrid format would make this possible! We hope to see an outpouring of support for this, and are glad to be able to continue to accept sign on and statements of support for more of our comrades to join us in demanding accessibility in DSA, starting with a hybrid convention in 2023.
