Fight Fascism. Support California DSA.

California DSA is a statewide organization of the Democratic Socialists of America that is made up of delegates from our local chapters in the state

 Corporations and billionaires have spent decades buying elections, using our government to further consolidate their power and increase their wealth at the expense of the rest of us. One of the tools these purchased politicians use is gerrymandering, which is drawing state lines to benefit one party; rigging our elections to ensure their continued power.


California DSA delegates, representing chapters from across the state, overwhelmingly voted to endorse California’s Prop 50, the Election Rigging Response Act. This act was passed by the CA state legislature in response to Texas Republicans’ efforts to further gerrymander their district lines, adding five more congressional seats for their fascist project.


Prop 50 implements new maps that redraw California’s congressional districts to eliminate five seats currently held by Republicans. This will not overturn or abolish California’s Citizens Redistricting Commission and the maps instituted by Prop 50 will be overridden after the 2030 Census by new, Commission-drawn, maps. 


CA DSA supports Prop 50 because we recognize economic inequality has broken our democracy. As long as we delay confronting the billionaires and corporations shaping our government, we will only have bandaid solutions. We urge Californians to stand up against fascism and to fight for a better world by joining DSA.

• Please re-share our CA DSA social media posts about the CA DSA endorsement of Prop 50! Find us on Instagram here. 
  
• Save the date for a CA DSA webinar on October 15th @ 7 PM.  We’ll hear from some exciting speakers about why the Prop 50 fight matters and what it means for socialists in California. 
  
• Join a California DSA phonebank! We’ll be hosting phonebanks on October 6th, October 13th, and October 20th. We’ll be calling DSA members to remind them to make a plan to vote! Remember, this election will likely be pretty low turnout; DSA members coming out to vote could make a big difference! 
  
• On October 18th, we will host a CA DSA Day of Action to do coordinated Prop 50 outreach! Some chapters will be tabling, some will be flyering at No Kings rallies, and some will be canvassing door-to-door. Please reply to this email if you are interested in participating -- we are hoping to get every CA DSA chapter out there! Get in touch with your chapter leaders to find out how/if your local is participating! 
  
• Help build socialism statewide in California, and donate to CA DSA today! This helps us print DSA-branded literature and prep canvass materials for outreach. California is on the frontlines of fascism -- we need a strong CA DSA to fight back! 
  

If Prop 50 passes, we could prevent two more years of Republican control in Washington, which would have devastating effects on working people. Join the fight today! 


Solidarity,
-CA DSA State Committee
