May
Day is coming and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members will be
attending a May Day celebration at the Machinist Hall, put on by the Wichita and Hutchinson Labor
Federation. The event will be free, but those who want to attend must RSVP,
316-941-4061. The event will be April 26th, 6pm at the Machinist Hall. All this
was decided at the last DSA board meeting April 8.
Also
the Peace and Social Justice Center will be showing films on the Actual May
Day, Tuesday, May 1, including Maestra.[1]
DSA
will be taking part in the Science March from 11am to 2pm, this Saturday, at
the Sedgwick County Courthouse.
DSA
has plans to print and sell T-shirt that we can wear to such events as the
Junteenth Celebration, which DSA will take part in this year. The design for
the shirts were voted on at last week's meeting.
DSA
members are still working out the details of the weekend campout in Eisenhower State Park , May 18-20. DSA Chapters from
all the surrounding states will be there. There will be officials from the
national DSA organization at this event. There will be several educational
events, such as Jim Philip's giving a history of socialism here in the US . There will
be plenty of time for swimming and other fun activities.
They
will also be taking part in PRIDE Day.
DSA is
considering a possible information table at this year's Junteenth
Celebration.

[1] Join
us to celebrate International Workers’ Day with a potluck and a recent Cuban
film, Maestra (Teacher). Maestra explores the personal
testimonies of the young women who taught literacy in rural communities across Cuba
during the Cuban Literacy Campaign of 1961, when 250,000 volunteers taught
700,000 people to read and write in one year. Please bring food to share–we
have place settings. We’ll also have information about the Pastors for Peace
yearly Cuba Caravan.
