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.
Get Involved

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.

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!

Inaugural BDSA Run Club 🏃♀️
January 12, 2026 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Roxy's Arcade - Kendall Sq, 292 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge MA, 02139Join us for our first ever Boston DSA Run Club event! Whether you're a long time runner or looking for a supportive group to continue your New Year's Resolution, we welcome you to join us for a short run and social afterwards.
We'll be doing a roughly 3 mile run starting and ending at Roxy's Arcade. After the run there will be time to plug upcoming DSA events before we head inside to hang out. We'll have at least one person lead the run and one person tailing the run to make sure everyone gets back safe.
Lights and warm clothes are strongly encouraged! Running at night is inherently risky and it's important to keep yourself safe.
