We chose to name this project after Connecticut’s nickname of “the Nutmeg State.” But the nutmeg has a surprisingly radical history in socialist movements, as both a symbol of capitalist exploitation and possibilities of liberation. Stay tuned for a new logo and a detailed history of the nutmeg coming out soon!This space is an extension of CT-DSA’s political education work. We are dedicated to developing our members’ interest in and capacity to do rigorous political analysis, cultivate a shared political consciousness, and advance our commitment to liberatory socialist politics in our communities and beyond.This project grows out of DSA’s conviction that working people understand and take seriously the urgency of our historical moment and the intellectual work required to meet it.We invite you to engage with these contributions, to bring them into conversation with your own organizing work, and to join the collective struggle for a world beyond borders, cages, and capitalism. Further, we invite you to consider contributing your own writing to future issues. Reach out to us at politicaleducation@ctdsa.org
