SUMMARY:Demilitarize Santa Ana
DESCRIPTION:At the invitation of our allies at the Santa Ana City Council\, OCDSA will be heading to Santa Ana City Hall on Tuesday night to demand that the City of Santa Ana demilitarize their police department. This comes on the back of a proposed resolution to end the use of and authorize the return military-grade weapons – including less-lethal munitions\, robots\, drones\, and armored vehicles – that the police department has illegally purchased with the city’s funds to brutalize the populace. This issue has become such a problem in the city that even the SAPD themselves – a police department infamous for their heavy-handed brutality – has admitted that they “messed up” when they spent the last 2 years violating state military equipment laws. Doors open at 5:30PM\, but PLEASE plan to get there earlier if you’d like to attend. \nRSVP Link

DESCRIPTION:Build People-Powered Socialism in Your City\n \nLearn the history and principles of Municipal Socialism and how to organize a movement where communities control resources\, housing\, and power. Through collective discussion\, we’ll analyze local conditions\, strategize organizing tactics\, and assess the potential of Municipal Socialism as a path to revolutionary change. We will discuss “Municipalism: A Critical Review”\, Chapter 3 of David Berman’s “Socialist Mayors in the United States”\, and an examination of the difference between general law cities and charter cities. Join us to address key questions: \n\nHow can we build collective power in Orange County through socialist organizing while keeping community solidarity?\nWho are our allies\, and how do we center marginalized voices while challenging existing power structures?\nHow do we sustain long-term organizing without burnout\, co-optation\, or division—and hold leaders accountable?\n\nSignup link

SUMMARY:What is Capitalism? Socialist Night School
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nAs socialists\, we want to transform the world into one that is just\, with freedom and equality for all. We must start with the world as it is\, because the state of the world constrains our options and defines the means available to us to create a better world. \nCapitalists rely upon dividing the working class to maintain their control. This module introduces the relationship between capitalism and one such division\, racism\, which is etched particularly deeply into American life. \nDigging into the mechanics of capitalism provides us the tools to dismantle and replace it. Winning socialism is the most ambitious project in history\, and we cannot succeed without paying close attention to our opponents and the political\, economic\, and social terrain. The nature of class society and of specific classes; the way they act and interact; and the material conditions and social relations that structure our lives–all of this is essential knowledge for effective and concrete strategies to build a just society\, where everyone is cared for\, and all people enjoy freedom and equality. \n\nReadings:\n\n“The Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels\, an excerpt\n“Understanding Capitalism” by Vivek Chibber\, an excerpt\n“From #BLM to Black Liberation” by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor\, an excerpt\n“But At Least Capitalism is Free and Democratic\, Right?” by Erik Olin Wright\nRSVP:\nhttps://actionnetwork.org/events/what-is-capitalism-socialist-night-school-2?source=direct_link&
