Social Democrats of America
Dear comrade,
As a New Yorker, I’ve written many times before.
America is complicated, and people often seek simple answers to complex issues. I represent a Social Democratic ideology within the Democratic Party, positioned to the left of Elizabeth Warren and to the right of Bernie Sanders.
My goal isn’t to persuade you to adopt my beliefs, but if you find you share them, I invite you to join us.
I also work with others who don’t necessarily share my views, and this clip from a meeting at the Central Queens Republican Club illustrates that. You can find the full video on their YouTube channel: @CentralQueensRepublicanClub.
Our beliefs are straightforward. We advocate for Free Education, Universal Health Care, opposition to the Death Penalty, support for Abortion rights, Universal Basic Income, the Right to Unionize, the Separation of Church and State, and a government that works to make life livable for all while safeguarding citizens’ liberties.
Interestingly, the Bronx Conservative Party chair agrees with me that the system is broken, though we still disagree on nearly everything else.
Our approach is further outlined in a documentary recently aired on PBS, titled County. Please watch it and share it widely.
Marty Dolan, New York City candidate for Public Advocate, was surprised to learn how widely we’re present, as demonstrated in the video below.
If our values resonate with you, you are welcome to join us at our next political salon, which will take place at the Atrium on 42nd Street and Park Avenue on Wednesday, November 13. You can find the agenda for this session here: https://www.socialists.us/direct/list/agenda?2024-11-13-NY-Midtown-Agenda.
We also have video explainers that outline why we stand where we do: https://www.socialists.us/direct/explainer/history.
Additionally, we hold a Zoom session on the first Wednesday of each month (tonight) at 9 pm Eastern. You can find the agenda for our next Zoom session here: https://www.socialists.us/direct/list/agenda?ZoomAgenda.
In Solidarity,
Hasta la victoria, ¡siempre!
Theo
