The Burning Case for a Socialist Green New Deal

Join Metro DC DSA for a conversation on socialist climate politics with Dr. Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Georgetown professor, DSA member, and author of Reconsidering Reparations and Elite Capture: How the Powerful Took Over Identity Politics (And Everything Else).

The neoliberal climate agenda has failed us, and as we face down four years of backsliding on environmental issues at the federal level, the need for locally-driven movements to advance transformative climate justice policy and build the green new deal from the ground up has never been more urgent. Join us for an open discussion with Dr. Táíwò, followed by an interactive session to learn about DC’s local GND campaigns and strategize about the path forward.

At the Festival Center, 1640 Columbia Road NW, Washington, DC

Reinstate Federal Workers Now! Rally for Justice!

The Trump administration, Elon Musk, and DoGE are targeting federal workers who work to make government services better and fairer for everyone. We’re fighting back.

The federal government has unlawfully fired workers simply because they think their political beliefs are different from the Trump Administration. This is a political purge, and we won’t stand for it.

On March 26th, the ACLU filed a class action complaint to demand their reinstatement. And we need YOU to show up and rally with us.

Join us for a rally to call out this blatant attack on civil liberties and make sure the world knows: We will not be silenced.

When: Tuesday, April 8th at 11 AM EST
Where: Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, DC

This isn’t just about fired federal workers- it’s about all of us. It’s about our basic first amendment rights and civil liberties. It’s about refusing to tolerate an authoritarian political purge. If they can fire people simply because they think their political beliefs and values clash with the president’s agenda,, they can come for anyone. This kind of retaliation is a violation of federal employees’ fundamental rights under the First Amendment.

RSVP now and help us fight back.
