During rallies and marches, marshals are the ones wearing the high-vis vests, and they help keep protesters safe. They are responsible for blocking traffic as needed, keeping their eyes looking out for possible threats to the action, and de-escalating when necessary. If this sounds like a role for you but you don’t know how to get started, then this training is for you! All DSA members welcome, including those with previous marshaling experience.
— Room S-280 is at the top of the escalator in the main atrium
— there is parking under the library; enter on 4th street from Hennepin Ave

The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.
