The Democratic Socialist Labor Commission has launched a national project to teach chapters how to organize laid off restaurant workers in their area. We’re helping chapters set up local restaurant organizing campaigns that can fight for immediate relief in the short term, and organize around a longer term vision to reshape the entire industry so it works for workers.

The Democratic Socialist Labor Commission or DSLC is the national body in DSA that connects, supports and oversees DSA’s labor work. Restaurant Organizing Project or ROP was started by members of the DSLC (both its steering committee and rank & file) to support chapters as they organize workers during this crisis, and to help chapters grow their strength so they can continue the work once the immediate threat of COVID-19 has passed.
