We have a new category on our Defeat MAGA/Fight for Democracy platform. The category is Project 2025. There is an AFL-CIO analysis and an analysis by a group Democracy Forwardamong others. Democracy Forward guide to Project 2025. https://democracyforward.org/the-peoples-guide-to-project-2025/ Our project: Defeat MAGA / Fight for Democracy: Action Opportunities. To organize and advance our work, we have created a platform, a google docs site to learn from each other and share activist opportunities including Block and Build, battleground states and districts, left coalition efforts and more. The google site is for the recording of opportunities for political participation; phone banks, canvasing, donations, union contacts, links to important documents (such as Project 2025). Here is the link to the Google site. Organizing North Star members If you have items, events, projects that you recommend for posting go here.

For example, there may be a critical swing district race you are working in. Please share the contact information and how to get involved. Our immediate tasks. At this time, key primary steps are to unite with others and build the campaigns to defeat the Trump/MAGA/ anti democratic forces. Defeating MAGA candidates up and down the ballot in November. Supporting the re-election of members of the Squad. Powering Cori Bush to victory, Beating back the current wave of misogynist and anti-immigrant demagogy and laying the basis for serious positive reform under a new administration. The exit of President Biden from the race has not changed our fundamental goals. https://www.dsanorthstar.org/blog/north-star-statement-on-the-biden-transition-july-23-2024 What hasn’t changed is our primary task: the defeat of Donald Trump and the fascist threat he represents in 2024, embodied in the Project 2025 document. Success in defeating this threat demands solidarity among all forces opposed to Trump’s election. DSA should place itself squarely in the ranks of the gathering pro-democracy front and discard the ultra-left positions voiced in the NPC’s initial pronouncement on President Biden’s withdrawal from candidacy. The North Star Caucus Steering Committee stands ready to unite with all DSA members who recognize this historic opportunity to unite with the pro-democracy forces. We are committed to electing progressives and defeating reactionary measures at all levels of government on November 5th. All are invited to participate. Thank you for your participation. The Steering Committee of the North Star Caucus.
