Immediately\, people hit the streets to express the majority sentiment in this country: we reject another endless war for regime change! \nContinue the anti-war outpouring this Saturday as part of a coordinated day of action! Initial co-sponsors of this day of protest include: ANSWER Coalition\, National Iranian American Council\, Silicon Valley Democratic Socialists of America\, Palestinian Youth Movement\, American Muslims for Palestine\, Black Alliance for Peace\, CODEPINK\, About Face\, and Center for Conscience and War. \nThis conflict has the potential to quickly expand into a devastating regional war which will bring unthinkable death and destruction. Already\, other countries in the region have been drawn into the war. Trump is lying when he says that Iran poses any kind of threat to the United States. But a mass anti-war movement can put a stop to this senseless and illegal war of aggression. \nđŸ—“ïž Saturday MARCH 7\n⏰ 2:00 PM\n📍PLAZA DE CÉSAR CHÁVEZ URL:https://siliconvalleydsa.org/event/2026-03-07-no-war-on-iran/ LOCATION:Plaza de CĂ©sar ChĂĄvez\, 1 Paseo de San Antonio\, San Jose\, 95113\, United States CATEGORIES:External,SV DSA,WG - International Solidarity END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260307T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260307T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133702 CREATED:20260211T051220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260219T234204Z UID:10003204-1772877600-1772888400@siliconvalleydsa.org SUMMARY:Strategy Working Session #2: Chapter Convention 2026 Resolutions DESCRIPTION:If you are excited about continuing to build our chapter in 2026\, join this Strategy Working Session! \nAt our January General Chapter meeting\, we discussed and voted on this resolution about our 2026 Chapter Convention.

But the only way this 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? And most importantly\, how can you 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. This event is hybrid – in-person and on zoom. \nThursday\, February 26\, 2026\n6:30pm – 8:00pm \nSEIU 521 Union Hall\n2302 Zanker Rd\nSan Jose\, CA \nRegister for Zoom here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/F0M2SlV4SEiBeCVoMJlMAA URL:https://siliconvalleydsa.org/event/2026-02-26-dsa-101/ LOCATION:SEIU Local 521 Union Hall\, 2302 Zanker Rd\, San Jose\, CA\, 95131 CATEGORIES:newbie-friendly,SV DSA END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260226T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20260226T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T133703 CREATED:20251119T053141Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251214T025639Z UID:10001535-1772130600-1772134200@siliconvalleydsa.org SUMMARY:Electoral Working Group Meeting DESCRIPTION:The electoral working group will meet to discuss and plan for current and future electoral projects.
