We have already laid out a process and path to guide our Internationalist Organizing - that's R14. R18 will take us backwards, split our international + domestic work, and threaten the progress we've made to democratize the International Committee.

Splitting international organizing + domestic organizing is a mistake that weakens the power of the international working class!

R18 could have dramatic effects on the work of the IC. Why trigger a “constitutional crisis” every time some part of the IC goes against the will of the Convention? Why set up conditions for unending micropolitical contests at every level of the IC? #VoteNoOn18 #DSACon2021

No mass parties or unions that I'm aware of organize their international arm along the lines laid out in R18. We should look at real world examples for inspiration. I urge delegates to Vote NO on R18!

R18 would effectively cement the IC as a national committee with a giant subcommittee membership draining local capacity. IMO the vast majority of IC members should be in their chapters building local-level infrastructure to run national solidarity campaigns.

Vote NO on R18! As much as I respect the authors personally, R18’s structural prescriptions urgently concern me. It's a deeply radical proposal not just for the IC but for DSA that would severely decentralize the concentration of power in an already unwieldy national org.

There is a lot to like about R18, BUT the structural changes to the IC will further segregate our international and domestic organizing efforts from one another. We've made a lot of progress in the last two years, and we've affirmed that progress by passing R14. #VoteNoOn18

#VoteNoOnR18 because DSA's international work is crucial, impacting the whole org -- and so should be accountable to the whole org, not a small, self-selecting subset of the membership! Keep the IC accountable to the NPC, and vote no on R18.

#VoteNoOn18 - check out this article from members of the International Committee Secretariat about why R18 will hold back our international organizing! dsaorganizer.org/2021/07/16/dsa…

#VoteNoOnR18 Segregating the “domestic” from the “international”, as R18 does, is another way to diminish potential worker power and ensure a future where a weakened left continues to be divided and crushed under the imperial boot of capital.

#VoteNoOnR18 R18 would elevate the IC Secretariat to a parallel NPC for DSA’s international policy. The Secretariat would be empowered to unilaterally write statements for DSA and rewrite the IC’s mission statement at-will—powers currently reserved for Convention and the NPC.

Comrades! This afternoon, we will debate R18 "Internationalism + Mass Organizing." While there is a lot to like about R18, on the whole it is a step backwards for the org and could threaten the incredible progress that the International Committee has made over the last two years

The National Organizing Committee will be a huge step forward for our organization's ability to connect chapters and at-large members with national work. Vote YES on CB6 as amended!

Vote YES on A2 + A3! The National Organizing Committee has a ton of potential to transform our organization and build stronger connections between local and national work. But it won't succeed without these amendments!
