Description:

MEMBERS ONLY join us for our monthly tabling at Portland's First Friday event! This is a monthly activity that is an easy way to get involved with the chapter. We table along Congress Street in Portland (usually try to post up near SPACE gallery) and chat with passers by about our organization, the important work we're up to, offer folks merch, and get folks signed up! It's a great way to help out that doesn't require any experience. By signing up, you're signaling that you would like to help us out on this specific day.

Mask Policy:

If this event is in-person and you would like this to be a masked event, please contact a Maine DSA Accessibility Officer at accessibility@mainedsa.org at least 3 days ahead of time. For complete details about this policy, click here.

Description:

Maine DSA's From the River to the Sea Working Group is uplifting this event from local authors putting on a fundraiser for Gaza:

One way of resisting the cruelty and chaos of the genocide in Gaza is to gather, attempt to process what’s happening, and raise a boatload of money to send to The Center for Freedom and Justice, a Palestinian non-profit that is coordinating food convoys into Gaza. Please join your neighbors, friends, and partners at Novel for an evening of expression, reflection, and activism, featuring short readings by writers and community leaders, as well as a number of raffles. Our goal is simple: to raise as much money as we can to send to the people who need it most.

There will be music, art, books, and donated items for raffle from your favorite Maine vendors (Paper Tiger, Bread and Friends, Waterstruck, Washington Baths, original art by James Foley and Jamie Hogan, and much more!) —all in support of humanitarian relief for Gaza. It will be a space for grief, for action, for love, and for hope. Spoken words by Lily King, Zahir Janmohamed, Karen Ortiz, Rebecca Turkewitz, Chelsea Conaboy, Onnesha Roychoudhuri, Arisa White and more!

We are raising funds for lifesaving convoys bringing food, water, and medical supplies directly to families in Gaza. The situation is urgent. The need is real. If you're in a position to give, please consider donating to this grassroots effort:
?Stand with Gaza: Help Fund Lifesaving Convoys

Please, please donate whatever you can. Funds go directly to The Center for Freedom and Justice, a direct action nonprofit.

Please come if you can. Please give if you can. And if you can’t do either, please help us spread the word.

Because silence isn’t neutrality. And small acts, when joined together, can become lifelines.

We all do better when we all do better.

Come join us for our July 2025 social on Wed July 2025! We will be hanging out at Bunker Brewing. Babies/kiddos are welcome to join (with their adults). This event is open to Portland Tenants and fans of tenants rights (including home owners of one home or less).

Come with friends or come solo! This is a great opportunity to meet fellow tenants and to check if your rent is legal. Bring a computer if you want to learn how to check rent legality from the pros.

Reach out with any questions or concerns ahead of time to info@portlandtenantsunion.org. Do you have an accessibility need for this meeting? Please email us to let us know if there is something we can do to help make it work.

https://actionnetwork.org/events/stop-avelo-national-day-of-action

Description:

Maine DSA joins activists from around the state at the Portland International Jetport entrance as we join the National Day of Action to demand Avelo Airlines, which operates out of Portland, cancel their contract with ICE.

Avelo Airlines has accepted a $150 MILLION contract to operate deportation flights out of airports across the country, including right here in Portland, ME. This operation has aided the Trump Administration in illegally deporting people without due process and is responsible for violently separating families and communities. Learn more about the Coalition to Stop Avelo and DSA's International Committee to get involved in the campaign!

In all ways possible, we MUST show up and fight back against ICE and this fascist takeover. Show up this Saturday!

NOTE: As this is not a chapter event, our mask policy does not apply, although we encourage you to wear a mask.
