SUMMARY:MeToo: Women's Liberation with Sharon Smith
DESCRIPTION:A new resistance is growing. Ever since the serial abuser Donald Trump assumed the presidency\, millions of women and survivors of sexual violence have taken to the streets and lifted their voices in defiance of the status quo. In just over a year\, popular consciousness has been transformed\, and hundreds of powerful men have been struck down from Hollywood to Washington. There is hope again that sexism and misogyny can be challenged and fought. What will it take to build a movement that can end women’s oppression for good? Join us to discuss how socialists understand sexism\, and how we can move forward together toward liberation for all women. \nSharon Smith is a longstanding socialist and feminist activist and one of the leading voices on the US left around women’s oppression and the fight for liberation. She is the author of Subterranean Fire: A History of Working-Class Radicalism in the United States and Women and Socialism: Class\, Race\, and Capital. \nThis talk is part of the Socialism Tour 2018\, bringing experienced activists and thinkers to cities across the country in the lead-up to this year’s Socialism Conference in Chicago.  \nRegister for the conference today!\nhttps://socialismconference.org/ \n*Photo by CDEL Family via flickr*

SUMMARY:Women and Socialism
DESCRIPTION:Location: UNT Language Building #316 \nJoin the Denton branch of the International Socialist Organization for our bi-weekly educational meeting. We will be beginning Sharon Smith’s book\, Women and Socialism: Class\, Race and Capital (2015). Sharon Smith is a longstanding socialist and feminist activist and one of the leading voices on the US left around women’s oppression and the fight for liberation. She is the author of Subterranean Fire: A History of Working-Class Radicalism in the United States and Women and Socialism: Class\, Race and Capital.  \nSharon Smith will be visiting Denton on the Socialism 2018 Tour in April\, with more info to be announced soon here: https://www.facebook.com/events/226427621266803/ \nAbout Women and Socialism: \n“More than forty years after the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s\, women remain without equal rights. If anything\, each decade that has passed without a fighting women’s movement has seen a rise in blatant sexism and the further erosion of the gains that were won in the 1960s and 1970s. Yet liberal feminist organizations have followed the Democratic Party even as it has continually tacked rightward since the 1980s. \nThis fully revised edition examines these issues from a Marxist perspective\, focusing on the centrality of race and class. It includes chapters on the legacy of Black feminism and other movements of women of color and the importance of the concept of intersectionality. In addition\, Women and Socialism: Class\, Race\, and Capital explores the contributions of socialist feminists and Marxist feminists in further developing a Marxist analysis of women’s oppression amid the stirrings of a new movement today.” \nReading for this week: \nWomen and Socialism: Race\, Class and Capital by Sharon Smith (2015)\nPreface\nCh. 1: Women’s Liberation: The Marxist Tradition\nCh. 2: The Origin of Women’s Oppression\nCh. 3: Mainstream Feminism: From Women’s Liberation to “Power Feminism” \nYou can purchase the e-book/paperback bundle for $8 here: goo.gl/6YFjYa\nDon’t have cash for the book? Reach out to us over FB messenger or email and we’ll help you out!  \nPart 2/3: Chapters 4-6 – April 11\, 2018\nPart 3/3: Chapters 7-9 – April 25\, 2018 \nProposed Agenda:\nAnnouncements\nPreface & Chapter One\nChapter Two & Chapter Three\nISO This Week

SUMMARY:SB4isRacist ! We are Here To Fight and We are Here To Stay
DESCRIPTION:The conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to uphold the SB 4 injunction previously issued by a lower court last year and has forced the law\, in its near entirety\, onto the state of Texas. Since the law was introduced last year\, undocumented youth\, families and allies from across Texas have fought to protect Texas families from the terror\, instability\, and fear white supremacist lawmakers have forced on communities of color.  \nJoin us Wednesday\, March 14th at 11 am in front of the Houston City Hall as we rally in response to this racist and xenophobic decision. We will not stand idle as this racism and hate envelopes our state\, we will continue to fight\, prepare our communities\, and organize to hold electeds and law enforcement accountable. \nFor months\, as Republicans forced SB 4 law into law thousands of brown and Black immigrants\, families\, and allies took over the State Capitol in Austin to fight back\, saying\, “SB 4 is Racist!” \nIf you have questions or need legal support\, please call 1-833-HOU-IMMI during normal business hours. \nIn Resistance\,\nUWD Houston

SUMMARY:Solidarity with WV Strikers Watch Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Denton\, TX to watch a livestream interview and hear on the ground reports from the strike with live interviews from victorious West Virginia striking teachers\,\nEmily Comer and Jay O’Neal. Discuss how to build solidarity and what lessons we can learn from this struggle\, and show support across the globe. \nBring a co-worker\, friend\, or classmate and let’s spread the word wide! \n* * * \nOver 30\,000 West Virginia teachers and school personnel remain on strike. While union leaders and Governor Justice announced a deal on Tuesday night\, rank-and-file teachers have insisted that the core issues\, most notably rising healthcare costs\, remain unresolved. After meetings and discussions across the state\, all 55 counties remain out. Meanwhile\, the state legislature has tabled legislation to resolve the strike into next week. Solidarity across West Virginia has been immense: teachers have made sure that students who rely on free meals at school are fed and families have turned up in support of their teachers. Thousands of defiant workers remain in the Capitol building to press for their demands. \nBut a near blackout by mainstream media means that we need to build solidarity with the strikers beyond West Virginia. In a moment when Janus threatens to break the back of the unions\, the rank-and-file workers of West Virginia are showing another way forward. #55united #solidarityforever \nDonate to the strike fund set up by local activists\, please visit here: https://www.gofundme.com/wv-teachers-strike-fund \nSponsored by International Socialist Organization\, Jacobin Magazine\, Labor Notes\, the NYC-DSA Labor Branch\, and the MORE caucus of the United Federation of Teachers. \nEndorsed by Labor for Palestine and Labor for Standing Rock.

SUMMARY:Protest Petland for buying from Puppy Mills instead of adopting
DESCRIPTION:Help us peacefully protest Petland for buying puppies from puppy mills.  We prefer that stores partner with rescues and shelters for adoptions. But if they refuse\, we will close their stores through protests and public education. \nWe will have extra signs .    \nBackground:\nPetland Going Down grew from Texans Exposing Petland\, an organization founded in 2008 to end puppy and kitten sales in the five Dallas-Ft. Worth area Petland stores. Three stores closed\, and we continue to protest at the two remaining DFW area stores.  \nThe first Saturday of each month\, we have an all-hands-on-deck protest (everyone goes to one location) at either the Dallas Petland or the Frisco Petland. On March 3\, we will be at the Dallas Petland from 11 AM to 12:30 PM. We will still have our Frisco protest\, but it will be delayed to allow the Dallas folks to drive to Frisco. \nDallas Petland Store @ 11 AM: NW corner of Preston Rd and Forest Ln. \nFrisco @ 1:00 PM: SE corner of Preston Rd. and Gaylord Pkwy. \nEvent day contact is Dr. John Pippin at (972) 523-4404.

SUMMARY:Stop The Upcoming NRA Convention In Dallas
DESCRIPTION:The NRA is not welcome in Dallas!  We support Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Carraway’s call for the NRA to move it’s upcoming convention to another city\, and urge Mayor Mike Rawlings and other city council members to speak out and do the same. This dangerous organization’s agenda has brought on the crisis of mass shootings in our country\, yet they continue to distort the conversation on sensible gun control\, even after the latest school shooting in Parkland\, Florida. The NRA has no place in our city.  \nJoin our CALL TO ACTION below! \nFirst\, sign our petition so that the city of Dallas can see/feel our power in numbers:\nhttp://bit.ly/NoNRAInDallas \nFrom 2 to 4 p.m.\, reach out to Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and your city council by phone\, email\, social media\, or any relevant communication tool and let them know that the NRA should not be allowed to use our city’s convention center.  Here is where you can contact them at: \nMayor: Michael S. Rawling\, 214-670-3301 \nCouncil District 1: Scott Griggs\, scott.griggs@dallascityhall.com  214-670-0776 \nCouncil District 2: Adam Medrano\, adam.medrano@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4048 \nCouncil District 3: Case Thomas II\, richard.soto@dallascityhall.com  214-670-0772 \nCouncil District 4: Dwaine Caraway\, District4@DallasCityHall.com  214-670-5117 \nCouncil District 5: Rickey D. Callahan\, rick.callahan@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4052 \nCouncil District 6: Omar Narvaez\, Laura.Cadena@dallascityhall.com   214-670-6931 \nCouncil District 7: Kevin Felder\, district7@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4689 \nCouncil District 8: Tennell Atkins\, maria.salazar2@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4066 \nCouncil District 9: Mark Clayton\, emily.worland@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4069 \nCouncil District 10: Adam McGough\, adam.mcgough@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4068 \nCouncil District 11: Lee Kleinman\, sophia.figueroa@dallascityhall.com  214-670-7817 \nCouncil District 12: Sandy Greyson\, sandy.greyson@dallascityhall.com  214-670-4067 \nCouncil District 13: Jennifer S. Gates\, jennifer.gates@dallascityhall.com  214-670-7057 \nCouncil District 14: Philip Kingston\, Philip.Kingston@dallascityhall.com  214-670-5415 \nIf you are not sure who is your council representative\, you can find that information here with your name and birth date: \nhttp://www.dallascountyvotes.org/voter-lookup/#VoterEligibilitySearch \nLastly\, share this with 5 friends or family members and urge to do the same so we can build the momentum needed to stop the NRA from arriving in Dallas!    \nHere’s language you can use: \nThe NRA’s singular focus on gun sales has put the lives of Americans in danger. No place is safe from mass gun violence because the NRA has bullied our government into submission\, to a point where even researching gun violence is prohibited\, let alone sensible gun controls.  \nFor these reasons\, we do not want the NRA in Dallas. We stand with Mayor Pro Tem I Dwaine Carraway in rejecting the NRA\, and urge Mayor Mike Rawlings and the Dallas City Council to do everything in their power to keep the NRA out of Dallas.
