PACK THE COURT: Stanford 11's Trial Begins
2025-11-17 08:30 - 12:00 | CA
[URGENT ACTION] ‼️PACK THE COURT‼️ for the Stanford 11 at 8:30 AM on Monday November 17 at the Hall of Justice, 190 W Hedding Street, San Jose, CA
In June 2024, students, alumni, and one student reporter were arrested at a sit-in of the office of Stanford University’s president in protest of Stanford’s complicity with Israel’s genocide in Palestine. In Santa Clara County, the District Attorney Jeff Rosen has chosen to charge these protesters against genocide with felonies, and 11 Stanford community members have been indicted on two grand jury charges, making them the first out of thousands of protesters across the nation in the past two years to go to felony trial over their pro-Palestinian activism.
The next court date for the Stanford 11 is November 17, where trial proceedings are set to be scheduled and assigned. Show up and pack the court in order to support the Stanford 11, as they fight trumped up charges just for their courage to call out Stanford’s complicity in the genocide!
If you can’t show up, check out Stanford SJP’s action toolkit here about how to support the Stanford 11 through mutual aid for trial expenses as well as calling and emailing public officials. Follow @stanfordsjp and @sit_in_to_stop_genocide for more updates!

2025-10-26 14:00 - 16:00 | CA
Come join the International Solidarity Working Group and participate in a No Appetite for Apartheid canvass in San Jose! We’ll be meeting in front of San Jose City Hall.
No Appetite for Apartheid is a national campaign that follows the principles of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to reduce US support for Israeli apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. The campaign urges local small businesses to stop carrying Israeli food products and educates community members about supporting Palestine by boycotting Israeli products, a time-tested consumer tactic used against states perpetrating injustice. During our canvass, we’ll be visiting businesses in San Jose and asking them to drop Israeli food products as well as to put up a flyer showing the community their support for Palestinians.

DSA 101
2025-10-25 12:15 - 13:00 | SEIU Local 521 Union Hall, 2302 Zanker Rd, San Jose, CA, 95131
At DSA, we believe a better world is possible. But the only way 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.
What 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.
The event will be held at SEIU 521 Union Hall on Saturday October 25 at 12:15-1 PM, right before our monthly General Chapter Meeting.
A hybrid Zoom option is available. Register at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Dkzcam-2SjerPLuBlEGQOQ
