I love when you guys share what you are reading. I help run a YDSA and the stuff you guys post is always so useful in helping teach people more about Democratic Socialism.

I also enjoy the primers and reading list. A lot of it I have read or has existed on the periphery for me thru the years , but I’ve been surprised by things that have not been on my radar before such as CL R James . I volunteer with the Homeless community down here in Houston and have been struggling to find assessable literature to give empower these folks. If anybody has any ideas - please lemme know.
