By / June 22, 2024 / 15 minutes of readingTens of millions across the globe have stood up in opposition to the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and the broader settler-colonial occupation and apartheid regime managed by the Israeli state across the historic lands of Palestine. As we write today, Israel is intent on completing a genocidal expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. It appears that no one is safe from Israeli bloodlust. Indeed, as if to prove the point, on April 1, Israeli occupation forces murdered with impunity seven aid workers of the World Central Kitchen traveling in three clearly-marked vehicles. These killings added to the over 40,000 martyred Palestinians and hundreds of other slain humanitarian aid workers. An end to Zionism is the only viable political solution.

By / August 28, 2023 / 2 minutes of readingCT DSA is proud to endorse Abdul Osmanu and Laurie Sweet for Hamden Legislative Council in the upcoming Democratic primary!
As incumbent legislative council members, Laurie and Abdul have worked tirelessly to represent tenants and working people. CT DSA endorsed Abdul’s candidacy in 2021 as part of the JAM slate for Council and Board of Education. Elected in the same year, Laurie joined DSA through her work with us while on the council, and has become a valued member of our chapter.
Although their colleague and our comrade Justin Farmer will be retiring from the council this year, we want to send them back to build on their work transforming Hamden in to a base of working class and tenant power.
Stay tuned for canvassing dates as we gear up for the September 12th primary!
