IWW = Industrial Workers of the World
DSA = Democratic Socialists of America
ISO = International Socialist Organization
Woody Guthrie was famously a member of the IWW. So today, this seems particularly apropos.

As yet, the IWW has not confirmed she was a member and are saying they know of no one injured. This is a statement from an IWW member (from North Carolina) who was at the scene. Some DSA folks are still saying she was a DSA member, but nothing official afaik. She seems to have been marching with the DSA/IWW crew. Here's ABC News:
Heather Heyer, 32, was killed while marching in the same group as Tommy and other DSA members. DSA could not confirm whether or not she was in fact a member of their organization, or belonged to another group that was marching with DSA at the time.--
