 DSA National Convention
 
The convention meets in the aftermath of a financial crisis, an extremely deep recession, and a fight to enact health care and other important reforms promised during the 2008 presidential election. It is a time that cries out for a strong socialist voice and this convention must build DSA's capacity to be that voice. This convention will be among the most important that we have ever held. All members and friends are encouraged to attend DSA's National Convention -- November 13-15, 2009 -- in Evanston, IL, a suburb of Chicago, located just to the north of the city. The convention will be held at the Best Western University Plaza hotel, which is adjacent to the Northwestern University campus. The closest airport is O'Hare.
 
IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO ATTEND THE CONVENTION AS A DELEGATE!
 
If you are a member of DSA and want to attend the convention it is still possible to be selected as a delegate! Members are elected as delegates at-large or from recognized local groups. If you would like to attend the convention as a delegate or just to observe please email me. I will make sure you get the chance to participate.

 

 Hotel Rates Reduced
 
Our special rate of $109 per night (plus 14% tax) for a single or a double has been reduced to $94 plus tax. We are staying at the Best Western University Plaza,  a union hotel. The hotel will offer the rate on either side of the convention if you wish to extend your stay. To guarantee the reduced rate you must reserve no later than October 13, 2009. The hotel does not have a web site that will allow you to make the reservation on-line at the group rate. However you may make reservations by telephone. The telephone number is 847-491-6400 and is staffed 24 hours a day. Be sure to mention the Democratic Socialists of America to get the reduced rate. As with all hotel reservations credit card information or pre-payment of the first night will be required when you make your reservation.  Reduced parking rates ($7/night) will be available.
