Come join the International Solidarity Working Group and participate in outreach as part of the No Appetite for Apartheid campaign that we are running locally in Redwood City! This event will be handing out flyers at the Redwood City Farmer’s Market.
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.

DSA 101 June 2025
2025-06-25 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom
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.
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 Wednesday June 25 at 7 pm. A hybrid Zoom option is available, register at this link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/xfxZ8XmtQBqVoak-W1l4IA

Skill Building: How to Talk to Non-Socialists about Socialism
2025-06-20 17:00 - 18:00 | Strike Brewing, 2099 S 10th St #30, San Jose, CA, 95112, United States
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!
We 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!

Labor Movie Night
2025-06-18 18:30 - 20:30 | 2302 Zanker Rd, San Jose CA, 2302 Zanker Rd, San Jose, OR, 95112, United States
Labor Movie Night is back! And this Pride Month we will be celebrating by watching Pride (2014). Based on actual events, Pride tells the story of a group of London gay and lesbian activists who, in the middle of the 1984 UK miner’s strike, banded together — calling themselves Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) — to raise funds, in buckets on street-corners, to support the striking miners.
This classic tale of solidarity is a lesson in what working people can accomplish when they band together and overcome discrimination and prejudice.
