MHVDSA HAS OVER 1,000 MEMBERS! 📣‼️ We’re building a multiracial working class movement to put power in the hands of the many, not the elite few. To quote Jane McAlevey, “The 1% have a vast armory of material resources and political special forces, but the 99% have an army.” 🌹 mhvdsa.org/join

After years of taking AIPAC money, Pat Ryan voted to block $3.3 billion in additional military aid to Israel, announced he would return his remaining AIPAC contributions, refuse future AIPAC endorsements, and cosponsored the Block the Bombs Act. But the work isn’t over yet.

For years, thousands of people across the Hudson Valley have organized, protested, called, emailed, rallied, and refused to accept the US’s funding Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Yesterday, this movement won an important victory.

Our communities can stop ICE expansion, but it takes more than words. Local governments should use every tool available to block new detention centers and refuse to facilitate ICE’s agenda. Together, we can build the power to keep ICE out of out of the Hudson Valley and abolish it for good.

Mid-Hudson Valley DSA@mhvdsa· 29d

ICE has no place in the Hudson Valley! More than 300 neighbors came together in the Town of Newburgh to oppose a proposed ICE detention center and make clear that we won’t accept another site of detention and family separation.

We tabled and marched throughout the Hudson Valley this Pride to talk to community members about democratic socialism and to build support for our legislative priorities like NY Health Act, Gender-Affirming Care Access Program, and a 24/7 hotline for LGBTQIA+ individuals in need.
