My DSA chapter had a social where we were on a beach roasting marshmallows and sausages over a propane fire. Hard being in the Pensacola DSA. But I noticed about the various college major pursuits in the DSA most. A bit are police science majors, there's a lawyer, good amount of humanities Major. I'm in STEM as an EE major, but I overheard stems being referred to "people that only see change through technology". Ironically I haven't brought up my education, but I have brought up my radio hobby a lot.
I'm in the DSA to try and see if I can coalition build and push class solidarity and I do think technology is needed To help justify the movement since we do mutual aid and it would help to prevent provide anything for the people we are helping.
I'm kinda curious if that's the case for other DSA chapter
Picture was just my route over to the social
I've been intercepting radio comms for retail chains and telling people to support any unionization effort and I even got onto meshtastic and reached out to anyone on there. also been looking into how to take junk we already have and convert it into other more useful (or even just giving the junk to people who need it).
I do wish my DSA chapter was more ambitious. there is our food share but we could do more canvassing to law the groundwork for politicians or even policies we advocate for.
I do think I'm figuring out politics is really a county wide game, as in county level is smallest level you can compete on. Big cities have there advantages like there's a lot of people and outreach is easy since everything is close together and city council positions have the smallest jurisdictions, but then what you can change is more limited. plus not everything is part of a city and unincorporated areas are subject to county so you can affect things like power and water for those areas if you go to the county level.
