Gerica N, Co-chair candidate for YDSA’s NCC on the B&R slate, emphasizes the important role of mass organizations like labor unions and student unions, drawing on her and Allen’s experience with union and regional organizing in LA and Texas.
People talking about the labor movement like it’s some outside activity that socialists can choose to engage in for bonus points makes me so mad
After closely watching both debates, the rizzler drops his top choices for the YDSA NCC election
I'm running for NCC At-Large! Looking forward to advancing a platform designed to create a YDSA that reflects the multi-gender multi-racial working class, and is capable of taking our power back from the capitalist elite. 🧵🧵

Yall rly be ahistorical about UOYDSA and UOSW— keep my chapters work out ya mouth tbh
Listen, I love YDSA, but we have 2k members out of 11 million students (and even more youth). The work me and my comrades have done through UOSW has organized twice as many people on a SINGLE campus. We have to organize on a scale significantly beyond the status quo
While other candidates today offered theory on labor & mass organizing, @gericanoo & Allen are living it. Gerica’s a union member & trusted regional mentor; Allen’s doing powerful labor organizing in the South. They’re the grounded leadership YDSA needs today & to build to 2028!
NCC Co-Chair Debate is this Saturday July 19th @ 4PM ET / 1PM PT! Come hear from each candidate on their political vision for YDSA and why they should be elected co-chair of YDSA!
what critiques of student unions do not apply to student worker unions?
high turnover in ydsa makes it easy to trash on any tactic that takes longer than 2 years (unfortunately, socialist organizing will take a while!)
My personal political spectrum framing in DSA is the clown wing to the the left of me and joker wing to the right of me. I am stuck in the middle tbh
The issue I have with the prevailing left/right framing of DSA caucuses is that the SMC/GW wing represents the actual “left wing” of the organization.
Come to YB&R’s public info call to learn more about our candidates for YDSA’s NCC and our resolutions for the 2025 YDSA Convention!
⚖ DSA’s multi-tendency, democratic character is our greatest strength. Convention delegate elections in DSA-LA did not live up to the principles of proportional representation and transparency that are key to maintaining our big tent. socialistcall.com/2025/06/29/def…
