From July 28 until September 22, the NYC local of Democratic Socialists of America will host a biweekly discussion series on a group of texts addressing a common theme: the death and (hopefully) life of the left. All local members and anyone else who might be interested is strongly encouraged to attend!
All meetings will occur at 7:00PM at Lemongrass Grill, located at 84 William Street in lower Manhattan. Please RSVP to nycdsa@gmail.com if you plan on attending a meeting.
