Come help us prepare lunches and share clothes with our East Austin neighbors! If you can make it, please bring clothes you’re willing to donate, sandwich supplies, and your favorite snacks! If you can't stay, feel free to just drop off supplies and clothes! RSVP: buff.ly/Au8GSx7

Austin DSA's (brief) Fall 2026 Voter Guide. This guide includes ONLY elections and ballot measures that our chapter has voted to endorse or oppose. Early voting starts TOMORROW; make sure you have a plan for when and where you're going to vote!

Should you have voting questions or run into any trouble at your polling place, you can call the Travis County Clerk’s Office at (512)238-8683, or you can call or text the national Election Protection hotline at (866)687-8683.

The boycott is a powerful tool, but only if we all pitch in, personally and through our institutions. City Council should make sure your tax dollars are not being paid to a vendor who has broken federal labor law hundreds of times over the last five years. Send them a letter here: buff.ly/A9TduZf

Este boicot es una herramienta poderosa con tal de que todos participemos, tanto a nivel personal como institucional. El concejo de la ciudad de Austin debe asegurar que nuestros impuestos no paguen a un vendedor que ha violado demasiadas leyes laborales federales en los últimos 5 años.

🌹 Austin DSA has been featured in an AP News article published this morning. More and more people each day are refusing to tolerate a system that continues to benefit and uplift the rich and powerful at the expense of working and marginalized people. Those people are joining DSA to fight back.

It's essentially a giveaway to corporate consultants that will handcuff the city and hurt the delivery of core services that Austinites rely on, including social programs, parks, and libraries.

The focus of Prop I is to identify spending cuts, requiring the audit to identify cuts to fund the cost of the audit, setting a perverse incentive for the corporate consultant who would need to be selected to perform the audit.

Apoyamos a Wilber y exigimos que se detengan de inmediato los procedimientos de deportación en su contra, que sea liberado y que reciba atención médica por sus lesiones.

También exigimos la abolición de ICE, que no ha hecho nada por la seguridad pública y solo ha vuelto más peligrosas a nuestras comunidades y ha maltratado a nuestros vecinos por el simple hecho de querer una vida mejor para ellos mismos.

🛑 BOYCOTT STARBUCKS Austin DSA voted to support union baristas by boycotting Starbucks. SB stores are understaffed, the workers are struggling to get by, and they lack critical on-the-job protection. Now, they’re fighting for a fair contract. Join us by pledging your support at buff.ly/Clt8SHo

Austin DSA votó a favor de apoyar a los baristas sindicalizados boicoteando Starbucks. Las tiendas de Starbucks carecen de personal; los trabajadores luchan para salir adelante y carecen de protecciones laborales esenciales. Únete a nuestro apoyo firmando en buff.ly/Clt8SHo
