This year, Las Vegas DSA mobilized over 70 members to knock 10,000+ doors for our first endorsed candidate in the Nevada legislature primaries. In keeping with that energy, we have formed an Electoral Working Group to begin the work on recruiting, training, and running candidates from within LVDSA membership.

This year, we offer a voting recommendation and explanation for each of the 7 ballot questions, and a rundown on the CCSD School Board. We will not be recommending candidates in the general and have chosen to focus our capacity and energy on building our own strategy and growing the socialist movement.

DSA’s National Political Education Committee is beyond excited to invite you to read (or re-read!) Karl Marx’s Capital, Volume I with fellow DSAers! This is a fantastic opportunity to bring us all together to discuss a fundamental text. Whether you consider yourself a Marxist or not, if you’re in DSA, your politics have been shaped by this big fat book. So, let’s talk about it!

This is planned as a national reading group that will host a kickoff event on October 1, with

• 5 more DSA-wide reading meetings between October and March,
• asynchronous chapter and at-large curriculum outlines for local study support between our large meetings,
• a moderated DSA forum category for debate and discussion as the reading group progresses,
• opportunities to volunteer,
• and more!

While the occasion for this reading group is the publication of the new translation of Capital coming out this month (and many comrades are very excited about that), any version that you prefer to follow along with the conversation is OK–whether it’s the free version on marxists.org, the classic Penguin edition, the brand-new Princeton translation, or another preferred version. Any level of familiarity with the text coming in is also OK–whether it’s your very first time or your umpteenth, we want you to participate. We intend to make it accessible, comradely, and a rich ground for us to listen and contribute.  

RSVP for the Capital Reading Group here, and we’ll see you soon, comrades!
