Flatbush DSA Socialist Night School - NYC-DSA's Electoral Project

Date: May 21st

NYC-DSA's electoral project is the most successful socialist electoral project in living American history, including the election of Socialist in Office blocs at the city, state, and, possibly, national level, then culminating in the election of Zohran Mamdani as NYC mayor. The faces of our elected officials have now become familiar to New Yorkers, and NYC-DSA's endorsement decisions are reported on in mainstream news outlets, but how did we get here? And where do we go next?

Join Flatbush DSA's Socialist Night School for a special session with the Electoral Working Group focusing on NYC-DSA's electoral project - its past, present, and future. We will be joined by special guests from the Electoral Working Group and NYC-DSA leadership, and (weather-permitting) will be having our first poolside session of the year!

The text for this session will be episodes of The Dig podcast focused on NYC-DSA and our electoral project. You can access these episodes below, or on the podcast platform of your choice.

Recommended Listening:

• How Zohran Won w/ NYC DSA cochairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser
• Three Million Doors w/ Zohran Field Director (and NYC-DSA electoral architect) Tascha Van Auken

Optional Additional Episodes:

• NYC and the Hegemonic Project w/ Sumaya Awad, Sumathy Kumar, and Nathan Gusdorf
• Zohran’s Message w/ Andrew Epstein

As always, all are welcome to attend, members and nonmembers alike, and whether you have done all, some, or none of the required reading. We will be gathering for informal pool time from 7-7:30, followed by a poolside session from 7:30-9:00.
