Hosting Young DSA Organizers Coming to Minneapolis

This August, The National Young Democratic Socialists (YDSA) convention will be held right here in Minneapolis at the University of Minnesota campus. Young people from across the nation will be traveling to Minnesota to advance their organizing in colleges, schools, and in their communities. We here in Twin Cities DSA have a huge role to play in making this possible. We need your help in housing our young comrades who are traveling to the cities for the convention. Housing is needed between Thursday, August 2nd and Sunday August 5th. You don’t need to be available for all four nights to host, nor do we need five star accommodations — a couch or air bed will do just fine.

We also need volunteers at the conference on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (August 3rd-5th) to help with everything from sign-in and marshaling to ASL interpretation. Even a couple of hours will help us make the conference a success, and no prior experience is necessary.

With only a few weeks to go, we still have a large need for more hosts and volunteers. Please sign up as you are able!

Any questions can be referred to iringgenberg@twincitiesdsa.org.
