The next time we at the Bulletin write to you will be February 6, 2020. By then, those of you who are braving the Iowa cold next weekend will be back home. The polls, promising as they have been lately, will be a speck in our rear window. Iowa votes in eleven days, and from then on, votes and pledged delegates will be the only things that matter.
Philly DSA’s got a lot to be proud of; the Bulletin is biased, obviously, but we believe (and people have been saying!) that you all are the best-trained, most active, most dedicated, and handsomest canvassers in DSA. If anyone can win Philly for Bernie, it’s you. So keep coming out to Sanders campaign events, call and text into early voting states, knock doors with us, take the pledge, and bring a friend. Do that, and in eleven days, we’ll be well on our way to winning.
February General Meeting
Saturday, February 29 | 12:00 - 4:00 pm | First Unitarian Church | 2125 Chestnut St
Save the Date! Our next General Meeting is next month! At the February General Meeting, we'll hear from candidates seeking our endorsement and will vote on whether to endorse each. We'll also hear reports from committees, as well as debate and vote on resolutions.
GM Timeline:
The Bulletin would also like to once again thank Richard Hooker of Teamsters Local 623 for speaking at our last GM. Juliana Feliciano Reyes, the Inquirer’s labor reporter, profiled Hooker for the paper this week; it’s an inspiring look at how a black package handler rose to the top of his union leadership, activating hundreds of members along the way.
If your union does something cool between Bulletins, let us know on Facebook or Twitter! Also, if you’re a union member and a member of Philly DSA interested in getting involved with our Labor for Bernie work, please fill out this form.
