Caravan departs the area of 900 Carrol St in Perry at 9:15AM
A hunger strike is underway at the Folkston ICE Processing Center involving hundreds of imprisoned people, many of whom have been convicted of no crime and have been held for months, protesting medical neglect, insufficient and contaminated food, and unhygienic living conditions.
The Middle Georgia DSA calls on every willing and able Middle Georgia resident of good conscience to join us Sunday morning to form a caravan to the Folkston ICE Processing Center to rally, to be heard beyond the barbed wire and concrete walls, to inspire hope in those fighting for their lives and to raise awareness of their critical condition. The strikers demand an end to abusive treatment, the right to due process, and immediate release. We support these demands and further call for a TOTAL SHUTDOWN of Folkston ICE Processing Center and for ICE to be ABOLISHED!
Community Taillight Clinic
Saturday, Oct.24 from 11AM to 1PM
Advance Auto Parts at 1335 Ball St, Perry
We replace all manner of taillight bulbs at no cost to you to help protect our community from the risk of burdensome fines and police violence that is inherent to police traffic stops. No reservation is required; we look forward to serving you!
We're winning elections all across the country!
From Mamdani to AOC, the Democratic Socialists of America has been responsible for the most prominent left wing victories in U.S. elections for as long as we've been around. And we're winning in more than just blue states. An explicitly socialist DSA candidate Kelsea Bond won a spot on Atlanta city council. There is not a fight too large for us to take on, nor one too small for us to care about.
We're serving our community directly.
It's important to us that we put our ideas into practice, and we do so by making thousands of meals each month with our meal making initiatives, reducing police stop and searches by fixing people's tail lights free of charge, and supporting workers in their fight to unionize.
Meal Making Days
Every Thursday we get together to make meals to feed those who are food insecure in the community. We make hundreds of meals each month with just volunteers and donated supplies. Whether you want a meal for yourself, or would like to assist those in need, all are welcome to attend and help out.
Tail Light Clinics
In order to reduce police stop and searches, our organization holds Tail Light Clinics where we repair people's broken rear bulbs free of charge. By removing a common justification for traffic stops, we help keep our community safe from state violence and burdensome fines. We've potentially prevented dozens of traffic stops and hope to assist even more people as we expand our efforts.
Building Local Labor Power
We believe that workers should be the ones in charge of their workplaces, and the way to achieve that is through the power of a union. Our chapter is already inspiring local workers to organize, with the Bonaire Starbucks authorizing a union election! If you are a worker, you can be a part of that fight!
Get Involved
We are the largest activist organization in Middle Georgia, and an explicitly anti-capitalist one. If you resonate with our work and our mission, we'd love to have you on board!
