SUMMARY:Skill Building: How to Talk to Non-Socialists about Socialism
DESCRIPTION:We are helping run an event to help build broad support for Ranked Choice Voting at Strike Brewing with a Brew and Chew event. Since this event is open to the public\, there will be many people who are not socialists who join us. With decades of Red Scare propaganda\, many people have an aversion to socialism. We know that building a better world needs socialism so it is based on human need\, not corporate profit. Talking to people about socialism in a natural way takes practice\, which is why we are going to run a skill building training on it! \nWe will meet an hour before the RCV Brew & Chew event so we can have a short skill building training and practice 1-on-1 conversations with each other in advance of the wider event. Join us at Strike Brewing at 5 pm on June 20 for the training\, then stay for the RCV event!

SUMMARY:DSA 101 June 2025
DESCRIPTION:At DSA\, we believe a better world is possible. But the only way that it can happen is if we organize together as members of the working class to restructure society based on human needs. DSA is the largest socialist organization in the United States\, but we have to grow even larger to change our society. One barrier to growth is lack of knowledge about socialism in general and DSA as an organization specifically. \nWhat is socialism? How can we achieve it? What projects does Silicon Valley DSA work on? How is our chapter structured to do work? How can I get involved? We are running a DSA 101 event where we will answer these questions and any others that you bring. This event is open to the public\, and we encourage non-members to get involved and come with any questions. \nThe event will be held at SEIU 521 Union Hall on Wednesday June 25 at 7 pm. A hybrid Zoom option is available\, register at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/xfxZ8XmtQBqVoak-W1l4IA
