Join Us. Close the Camps


NATIONAL WEEKEND OF ACTION TO #CLOSETHECAMPS 
From the day he took office, Donald Trump escalated a failed and cruel immigration policy into an all-out war against immigrants, banning Muslims, slamming the door on refugees, and tearing children from their parents’ arms.
In this context, DSA has endorsed a national weekend of action to #ClosetheCamps on Indigenous People’s Day weekend, Oct 11-14. Our national Immigrant Rights Working Group has helped initiate and lead this action, in partnership with other organizations (including the Coalition to Close the Concentration Camps and the indigenous socialist group The Red Nation). Right now, DSAers as far apart as Texas, California, Minnesota, and Georgia are organizing actions.There’s still time for your chapter to participate! You can find guidelines on the website.And the DSA Immigrant Rights Working Group is happy to help you figure out how to begin building your coalition, choosing a strategic target, and organizing your action.  A list of actions are on the website above. These actions are a step toward ongoing campaigns for immigrant rights that will build the base for larger national actions.
Contact the DSA national immigrant rights working group at dsa.immigration@gmail.com for more information or to get plugged in to the working group.
