Douglass Debs Dinner 2023 Photo Recap

by Joanne Coutts

After a three-year hiatus Detroit DSA’s Douglass Debs Dinner returned on October 28 at the UAW Local 600 hall in Dearborn. More than 130 socialists attended, and the event raised more than $5,000 net to support our chapter’s labor, environmental and electoral organizing, political education, and membership engagement.

Mary Grahame Hunter accepts the Lucy Gonzalez Parsons Award for her work organizing the Ferndale Library Workers Union.
Rose presents the Selma Goode Award to Melissa in honor of her dedication to Detroit DSA and her work as abortion clinic escort, tech coordinator, and archivist…and there is barely a dry eye in the house.

Special thanks to the Douglass Debs Planning Committee. To Carolyn’s Kitchen, UAW Local 600, everyone who donated an item/s for the gift baskets, volunteered on the evening, and, of course, the speakers. Looking forward to next year!
