A group of DGSU members sit around a long circle of tables. Many of them have blue folders and red cups, and a wall mural shows a Black woman with curly hair using a megaphone emblazoned with "RAISE UP"

One of the many training sessions held to fire up our base and teach everyone to organize their departments and programs.
