Who We Are

Boston DSA is the Eastern MA chapter of Democratic Socialists of America.

 

We are working against the oppressive capitalist system in its many forms. We see these oppressions — economic inequality, patriarchy, white supremacy, to name a few — as interlinked, intersecting, and inseparable.

 

Join us in building mass movements for the world we deserve and growing an openly socialist presence in communities and politics in the Greater Boston Area.

Join a Boston DSA Working Group

Boston DSA’s working groups carry out the external political work of the chapter. Working groups are centered strategies such as labor organizing (supporting striking workers and educators) or socialist electoral politics (challenging the legislative system). Learn about the working groups and find your organizing home within the chapter.

Protesters march through the streets of Boston holding signs that say "A Better World if Possible Democratic Socialists of America" and "Boston DSA Supports a Free Palestine"

Working Group Spotlight: Palestine

Join the Palestine Working Group! We’re fighting Warren and Markey by building a mass base around three critical issues – a permanent ceasefire, ending weapons shipments to Israel, and delivering immediate relief for Gaza. For the first time in history, the American people are on the side of Palestine – help us organize them!

  • Support Sex Workers at Cambridge City Council

    October 5, 2026 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm
    Cambridge City Hall, 795 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge MA, 02139

    Join BDSA and BSWAC to support sex workers at Cambridge city council. A proposal cosponsored by our very own Socialist in Office Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler aims to begin decriminalizing sex work in Cambridge and providing protections for workers in the industry. Read the proposal here. Decriminalization of consensual sex work is proven to improve conditions for workers and increase safety for those experiencing coercion.

    We'll be meeting outside city hall at 5 pm before the meeting starts at 5:30. It is expected to last several hours and you are welcome to come late or leave early. Wear red or pink to show your support!
