A bold poster on a bright red background features the date and time in small white lowercase serif font reading “friday june 27 6 pm.” Below that, large chunky white serif capital letters spell THEORY SESSION, with the O replaced by a circular emblem containing a stylized rose. Two pink rectangular labels reading “that” and “overcome” overlay the title. Beneath it, the words COMBAT LIBERAL ISM appear in the same oversized white capitals, with pink labels reading “which is” and “negative” layered on top. At the bottom, small white lowercase text reads “open to everyone” on the left and “dm for link” on the right.

Ready to sharpen your organizing skills? Join us for a theory session that tackles the habits that weaken our movement and explores how we build real working class power together. Every effective organizer needs these tools. Open to everyone, whether you're brand new or a seasoned activist.

DEDSA also calls on @coons.senate.gov, @bluntrochester.senate.gov as well as @mcbride.house.gov to sign the ”War Powers Resolution” (50 U.S.C. 1544(c)) to prevent the president from illegally waging war with Iran.

No more blood for Empire!
No more endless Wars!
No more Genocide!

7/7

We will not allow this imperial violence to be sanitized and hidden from the public. DEDSA unequivocally condemns these attacks. We call on all Delawareans, especially service members, to reject this war and condemn those who enabled these aggressions. 6/7

How many innocent civilians must be killed by drone strikes that we have been forced to fund? How many journalists, healthcare & aid workers must be deliberately assassinated before we see the Zionist entity for what it is? How much blood do US politicians need to spill before enough is enough? 5/7

Delaware now braces itself to witness the bloody greed of the ruling class again, and we must not stand for it. How many more must die before we put an end to the U.S. imperialist war machine? How many children must we watch starve in Gaza? 4/7

DEDSA stands for the right of sovereign nations to defend themselves in the face of American & Zionist imperialism. Iran is no exception. As home to the US's only port mortuary, Delawareans have seen the cost of war w/ our own eyes as bodybags filled with troops flooded into Dover Air Force Base 3/7

These escalations serve no one except war profiteers who view endless violence in the Middle East as an imperial tool to profit from. After decades of conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria, this is nothing new. 2/7

Once again, the United States has launched an antagonistic military action against another sovereign nation. On Saturday, June 21st, the Trump administration announced that the U.S. military struck three Iranian nuclear facilities at roughly 2 AM IRST in a blatant violation of international law. 1/7

As we celebrate this day, we reflect on what it meant to the original victims of American slavery to have their freedom be acknowledged, and on what still needs to happen to redress the harm done and build a truly equitable future with Black Americans.

Graphic which says "Juneteenth 619 in reference to the month and day of the holiday Juneteenth"

Delaware DSA wishes everyone a happy & hopeful Juneteenth!
On Sept. 22, 1862 the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into effect— but it was not until June 19th two and a half years later that news of the Proclamation finally arrived in Texas, the last shelter of formal chattel slavery in the US.

This poster celebrates Pride Month and calls for solidarity and action in Delaware. At the top, large white text reads “Happy Pride Month” alongside the Delaware DSA logo. Two black silhouettes climb a rocky slope stamped with words like HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA, INJUSTICE, VIOLENCE and HATE, raising the Progress Pride flag at the summit to symbolize overcoming oppression through mutual support. A block of dark grey text invites viewers to join the fight for a sanctuary state for queer siblings. A charcoal bar at the bottom welcomes everyone to Pride Fest on June 26 at The Queen in Wilmington to learn more.

Community solidarity is what keeps us safe! This Pride Month, Delaware DSA is working to make our state a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ siblings and comrades. Join us at Pride Fest on June 26th at The Queen in Wilmington to learn how we can fight together!
