how much are the dues
They start at $27 a year, but you can apply for exemptions. No one's shut out due to an inability to pay.

We've never been a singing chapter, even when we would meet in person

yeah. the clapping was causing some people to suffer from sensory overload and distract them from bringing down capitalism.

Tasty

We have tried to make political education part of what we do, with reading groups and stuff like that; we don't expect expertise and there are a bunch of folks who show up and just listen.

Tonight's meeting focused on the tax the rich campaign and a recent incident of police violence in our city.

The alternative is across the board budget cuts, which means layoffs for teachers and cuts to healthcare funding.

They shouldn't be allowed because they aren't socialist and historically imprison, repress, or kill socialists/leftists after seizing power.

I would guess not even everyone in DSA wants workers to own the means of production. It has a lot of social democrat types. But still, this is kind of a weird criticism, you can walk and chew gum at the same time and trying to decrease inequity in society and fight for workers while further organizing and educating is all completely valuable work for a socialist organization to engage in.

Precarity is an obstacle to workers organizing themselves. If people are made more reliant on their employment for their healthcare, or fear their head could be next on the chopping block, they're less likely take risks in organizing.
