As a first step to winning permanently affordable, publicly owned, mixed-income social housing, the Housing Working Group and Roxbury Neighborhood Group are asking folks to support efforts to eliminate parking mandates for new housing in Boston. Parking mandates drive up the cost of building new housing, and nearly 30% of parking that is built goes unused! As long as this restriction is in place, it will be difficult to build social housing. The Boston City Council is considering eliminating parking mandates and will likely vote in September. Join to phonebank DSA members in Roxbury and encourage them to leave voicemails to their city councilor in support of parking reform and social housing.

23 Dot DSA Canvass for Evan MacKay! (8/23) Dot DSA Canvass for Evan MacKay! (8/23) August 23, 2026 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Winthrop Park, 83 Winthrop Street, Cambridge MA, 02139 Help elect a democratic socialist to the Massachusetts State House! While this race is not in Dorchester, electing a champion for working people who will take on corporations and the political establishment will have an impact across the entire Commonwealth. Every new socialist in the State House strengthens our movement and helps us fight for housing we can afford, a strong labor movement, healthcare for all, and defending our neighbors from ICE. A crew of Dorchester DSA members will be taking the T together from the Savin Hill and Fields Corner stations. If you'd like to join us or coordinate a ride, please message 617-981-0010 or email dorchester@bostondsa.org.

Recently we saw incredible victories in the form of sweeping electoral wins across NYC & Denver. We will have for the first time in the history of this country a Democratic Socialist Caucus in Congress - with 5 DSA members!!

Here in Massachusetts, we have our own opportunity to demonstrate the power of people over profit, in the form of DSA endorsed candidate, Evan Mackay. Winning Evan’s election will not be easy. The Democratic Party machine is against us, and wants to defeat our movement. This is our opportunity to reach voters, and convince them that a better world, a more democratic and transparent state house, is possible. But it will take every single one of us to make this happen.

As a first step to winning permanently affordable, publicly owned, mixed-income social housing, the Housing Working Group and Roxbury Neighborhood Group are asking folks to support efforts to eliminate parking mandates for new housing in Boston. Parking mandates drive up the cost of building new housing, and nearly 30% of parking that is built goes unused! As long as this restriction is in place, it will be difficult to build social housing. The Boston City Council is considering eliminating parking mandates and will likely vote in September. Join to phonebank DSA members in Roxbury and encourage them to leave voicemails to their city councilor in support of parking reform and social housing.
