Hey! I was a little surprised to find a link to minutes just because I signed up for the email list, but I think it’s a really cool decision! I am the DSA member who reached out about collaborating. We are looking for socialist orgs who might want to be part of a labor organizing group across the north central valley. (We have some money leftover from UPS activities, and this is what we think we want to put it towards). If you have members for whom labor is a top priority, I would love to talk! I’m at ****@gmail.com

Mod Edit: Removed email address.
