Collectively, the NYC DSA Working Groups thought about how to create intersectional campaigns this month. Groups were asked to think about how to incorporate race, gender, and class differences into their education materials and platforming.
On May 1st, NYC-DSA will continue the tradition of celebrating International Worker’s Day with a rally and march in solidarity with NYC’s immigrant community. May Day is a chance to stand against racist ICE harassment and economic exploitation while demonstrating the power of all working people. Although the city depends on immigrant labor, our economic system pushes immigrant workers into the shadows, keeping their wages low and their families afraid.
“I am not afraid. I am not afraid. I would die for liberation, ‘cause I know why I was made.”
From this song that opened the first NYC meeting of the Poor People’s campaign, you could tell that the Poor People’s Campaign means business.
Privatized healthcare in the United States is dehumanizing and dangerous. The statistics are infuriating. Maternal mortality is on the rise, topping 26 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2015, according to The Lancet. 2015 Census estimates show that over 1.3 million New York State residents have no health insurance at all. Millions more have insurance in name only, with high copays and deductibles making it cost-prohibitive to attain care.
Red banners fluttering on high, members of NYC-DSA massed in Washington Square at the International Women’s Strike rally on March 8. They came to demand equity, justice, and human rights for women and all gender-oppressed people.
