Weekly Newsletter Production Roster
Last updated: 12/16/2023
Metro DC DSA has published a newsletter every Friday for over the past five years. It has grown along with the local organization, reaching well over 4,000 readers a week. It is the local DSA’s most consistent means of communicating with its members and the public. Although the newsletter production is run independent of chapter formations, it is ultimately responsible to both the DSA membership and the steering committee.
