Solidarity Saturdays: Delta Workers Phone-bank

DSA across the country is supporting the historic unionization drive of 18,000 Delta ramp, cargo, and tower workers. In 2023, Delta made 40% of the airline industry’s profits – more than United, American, Southwest, and Alaska combined. Despite these record profits, Delta workers are nowhere near the highest compensated in the industry in terms of pay or benefits. This is an important opportunity to support the revival of the labor movement and to support a racially diverse workforce in winning a union and more rights, which will help us fight Trump and the billionaire class.

Delta workers are organizing with the International Association of Machinists (IAM), who have asked DSA for solidarity! Across the country, Delta workers, union members, DSA, and IAM staff are phone-banking Delta workers on Saturdays asking them to resign expired union authorization cards. No experience needed; phone script provided.

10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Al-Nakba March 🌹️

MARCH AGAINST THE ONGOING NAKBA

Al-Nakba, Arabic for the catastrophe, refers to the violent expulsion of 750,000+ Palestinians to pave way for Israeli land theft. Hundreds of ethnic cleansing operations made possible the creation of the colonial state of Israel on May 15th, 1948.

But the Nakba continues! Israel continues to dispalce Palestinians, mass demolish homes, exile, and deny the 6 million descendents of the 1948 exiles the right to return home– a right enshrined by international law.

Trump continues to escalate the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by facilitating ecile– in the US and abroad.

March to demand an END to the ongoing Nakba! Right of return for ALL Palestinians.

2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
