Chicago Socialist Alternative's Summer Solidarity Bash Fundraiser!

Featuring performances from , , and jazz fusion band ! Bid in our silent auction with 15+ items! Join the socialists for an evening of entertainment, political discussion, and solidarity!

Chicago Socialist Alternative is hosting our first in-person fundraising event in FIVE years, and we’re going ALL OUT to help send financially disadvantaged members to our most important political conference of the year, which will politically prepare our members to kick ass protesting the DNC later this month! But you won’t just be supporting Chicago members — by supporting Chicago Socialist Alternative you are supporting International Socialist Alternative, with sections across the world, from Israel-Palestine, to Nigeria, to Sudan, to the brave underground work of our China-Hong Kong section.

Thanks to the solidarity of the Chicago community, this event will feature performances from some of Chicago’s foremost up-and-coming musicians and feature silent auction items from creators and small businesses in Chicagoland and throughout the Midwest.

We recognize that funds are hard to come by for all working people right now. We recognize that any support will be a sacrifice and we deeply appreciate your solidarity — and we aim to make this event worth it!
