Join the Housing Working Group for our monthly meeting!

Global real estate is valued at $217 trillion and makes up more than 60% of the world’s capital, 75% of which is in housing. As exploitable natural resources dwindle, curtailing commodity production, the ruling class has re-oriented towards rentier capitalism.

In this context, Boston DSA Housing working group organizes to build and support tenant unions, to build the power of working class people to confront the landlord and developer class, and to take control of our own homes and cities. In 2020, we contributed to the formation of the Greater Boston Tenants Union (GBTU) in 2020, a tenant-run, independent institution that is part of the national Autonomous Tenants Union Network.

We are currently working on supporting GBTU eviction defense canvasses and ongoing organizing projects. In addition we use our meetings for political education, particularly tenant organizer trainings, to develop our skill set, political analysis, and to help bring new organizers into the tenant unionist movement.

If you're not on the DSA mailing list, email housing@bostondsa.org for Zoom call-in info.

Boston DSA's Political Education Working Group meets on the last Thursday of every month at 7 pm, unless we have to move it for a holiday, which happens more often than you'd think.

PEWG's goal is to provide our members with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to organize effectively and strategically, and to educate the wider public on DSA's vision for a socialist future and the often-erased leftist movements of the past. PEWG hosts a number of ongoing projects, such as the chapter's political education blog (bostonpewg.org), our Socialist Night School series, and periodic New Member Reading Groups (abcsofsocialism@gmail.com). We also run one-time (or a-few-times) events such as reading groups, lectures, and panel discussions; and work with other working groups in the chapter to run political education events related to their areas of organization.

Working group meetings and events are held over Zoom. You can find our meeting's Zoom link or join the working group's mailing list at https://actionnetwork.org/forms/join-the-political-education-working-group?source=direct_link&

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us at education@bostondsa.org.
