Earlier this week, I was holed up on high ground in Houston, riding out what meteorologists are calling an unprecedented flooding disaster brought on by Hurricane Harvey. My place has, so far, stayed relatively dry. But I have had to step out to lend a folding ladder to a friend, who drove a circuitous route to borrow it to fix his gutters, and lessen the chances of water cascading into his home. Other friends of mine are stranded on the second floors of their homes, crossing their fingers that waters don’t rise; many more are on their roofs awaiting rescue or already in shelters.
Harvey Relief Strategy
Due to the kind and generous donations raised from our (ongoing) fundraising effort that will be used for Harvey relief, Houston DSA would like to share the strategy we will be pursuing over the coming days, weeks, and months.
Harvey Relief
As Harvey sits over Texas, the destruction of local Southeast Texas communities continues. We in the Houston chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America are organizing aid efforts for those affected by the storm. With severe initial damage in the region around Rockport and Corpus Christi, Harvey is stalling over Southeast Texas and will bring flooding rains over the next few days to the whole region. This will extend and exacerbate the disaster.
Hello Comrades!
We will be having our next reading group on Monday March 13th at 7:00 PM. The event will be held at:
Daiquiri Explosion
9223 Main St

We will continue to discuss Jacobin’s ABC’s of Socialism, available for download or purchase.
Last week we got through roughly the first 3 sections (~30 pages). We’ll continue our discussion where we left off with Chapters 4-6.
Hope to see everyone there! And feel free to bring friends, even if they are not DSA members. We want this to be an educational and welcoming experience for all.
