NWA DSA stands with Venezuela against US imperial violence! Here's our statement on the recent US attacks targeting Venezuelan ships and threats to invade
Northwest Arkansas Democratic Socialists of America https://www.dsausa.org NWA DSA STANDS WITH VENEZUELA! Swipe! So what's happening now The Venezuelan people look to their government for protection as they prepare to defend their country from those with capitalist, imperialist interest in the natural resources they have successfully nationalized! The oppressive regime of the U.S. threatens the lives of Venezuelans and actively murders Venezuelan citizens in international waters! The workers of Venezuela have come together to protect themselves and their neighbors from U.S. aggression! Escalations by the U.S. government have been illegal and are dangerous to both the Venezuelans involved and the military members being used as pawns in the game of imperialist agenda! Next We ask of you! We ask of you sailors, of you active military, to follow the moral route and insist to your commanders of the illegality and danger of missions that request attack of a sovereign nation! The US support of Maria Machado over the past two decades has hindered the country's democratic progress! Machado has used U.S./foreign influence and money to undermine every citizen of Venezuela. Merado also benefits from the nepotism of her family through the oppression of Venezuelan workers! Next The Northwest Arkansas DSA formally condemns the seizure of Venezuelan ships and hostilities from U.S. aggression! We denounce the support of U.S. hostilities by any person, government, or entity! Next

Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

Our 2025 Caucus meeting last Saturday was amazing! Take a look at some of the highlights in this post
The 2025 NWA DSA Caucus was a success! Some highlights: - food - Pearl's stopped by with some great reading material Discussion of future growth and direction for the chapter Several officer candidates spoke on their plans, and how they will approach their positions, if elected DJ Deutch spoke on how his campaign is an opportunity for the chapter to show Fayetteville (and NWA general) that DSA is a real player in local politics (Two members of Arkansas Renters United are posed for the camera whilst tabling)

When politicians say high speed rail is too costly, they’re lying. What stands in the way are capitulation to those companies who stand to lose from efficient mass transit (*cough*Big Oil*cough) and selective NIMBYism.
