Join us on May 14th for a night of community. Bring a craft, hobby, ongoing projects or work of any kind, or an idea for a mutual aid project you want to workshop! Sandwiches fixings will be provided, side dishes, desserts, and beverages are potluck. Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members, friends of DSA, and people completely new to organizing/mutual aid are all welcome.
Have any crafting or art supplies you don’t use anymore? Bring them along with you to drop off and we can make sure it gets to one of our local free artists closets in OKC!
Next Friday on May 15, the OKC chapter of Democratic Socialists of America (OKC DSA) is hosting a screening of Palestine 36 at the Oklahoma Film Exchange, in commemoration of the 78th anniversary of the Nakba. This it to not only remember what had been lost but to also remember stories of defiance, resistance, and hope. The film tells the story of the Great Arab Revolt more than a decade before the founding of the State of Israel, when the people of Palestine bravely resisted British rule. Stay afterward for a discussion on the lessons of history and how we can apply them to liberation struggles today.

We are two and a half weeks past the 31st anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. The deadliest domestic terror attack in American History. We are past the marathons, the memorials, and the spectacle that this time of year brings. However, we still choose to reflect on the 168 lives lost and a city changed forever. Although this tragedy means so much to Okies all over the state, we understand this is just a small footnote of settler colonialism and imperialism’s violent nature. Here is a statement written by our chapter in regards to this tragedy, why it happened and what we can do for the victims and this city.

Join us on the first Sunday of June for a virtual discussion on "Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions: The Global Struggle for Palestinian Rights" by Omar Barghouti.
Drawing a direct parallel to the South African anti-apartheid movement, Barghouti presents BDS as a non-violent, international framework designed to exert economic and moral pressure on israel to secure Palestinian rights and compliance with global law.

Our minimum wage has been stuck in 2009. It wasn’t enough then, and it’s only gotten harder to afford rent, food, gas, medical bills, and everything else. If State Question 832 passes, 1 in 8 Oklahomans will see a raise in wages.
Benefits of a living wage:
- keeps up with inflation
- increases job satisfaction
- strengthens local economy
- financial security = safer communities
Let’s build an economy that works for workers! Vote YES to raise the minimum wage on June 16, 2026
$7.25 es un salario de pobreza.
Nuestro salario mínimo no ha aumentado desde el 2009. No era suficiente para sobrevivir antes, y ahora sólo ha empeorado el costo de las rentas, comida, gasolina, cuentas médicas, y todo lo demás. Si se aprueba la Pregunta Estatal 832, 1 de cada 8 habitantes de Oklahoma recibirán un aumento de sueldo inmediato.
Beneficios de un salario digno:
- Se ajusta a la inflación
- Aumenta la satisfacción laboral
- Fortalece la economía local
- Segudirad economica = comunidades seguras

Let’s fight for our bread and enjoy our roses! Join us on May Day, Friday, May 1st, to learn about and celebrate International Workers Day at our two-part event!
We will first meet at Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library, to learn about the labor movement and Oklahoma’s specific history, followed by a presentation on building towards a general strike in 2028. Doors open at 4 PM and we will wrap at 6 PM. Max attendance is 80, so please RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/okcdsa-may-day-2026
After the library, we’ll celebrate with a solidarity fair just down the road at Calle Dos Cinco Plaza, where we’ll have free food and drink (with many dietary options), childrens’ activities, a panel of labor organizers, and close out with live performances of music from the legendary singer and communist Victor Jara. The party starts at 6 PM and goes to 10 PM.
OKC Democratic Socialists of America has had the pleasure of organizing this year’s May Day events with help from Indivisible Oklahoma, 50501, Cooperative OKC, Starbucks Workers United. and several other workers organizations. We look forward to seeing you all at May Day!
