- Its plans include an arms embargo campaign and a Houston sanctuary city.

## Summary

Democratic Socialists of America leaders and newly elected candidates used their first national meeting since the US midterms to discuss plans to challenge US support for Israel and restrict cooperation with immigration authorities. The article says the meeting focused on those ideological goals rather than the cost of living, an issue it describes as helping Democrats win votes.

Speakers discussed organising a grassroots arms embargo campaign targeting an Israeli arms manufacturer and United Airlines, and one incoming congresswoman said she would work to “break the US-Israel relationship”. Texas DSA leaders also described plans to make Houston a sanctuary city and oppose local police cooperation with ICE. The organisation said it won 74% of the races it contested, including eight House seats, 62 state legislative seats and three mayoral races.
