    The Boston chapter of Democratic Socialists of America typically holds its General Meetings and General Organizing Meetings for all members each month on a weekend afternoon. Interested in DSA but haven't signed up yet? Join us! G(O)Ms are a great way for the DSA-curious to get to know BDSA and get involved in local socialist organizing. Also, we have snacks. Please join us at our chapterwide General Meeting on Sunday, September 20 from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. at Cathedral Church of St. Paul just off Boston Common. At this GM, we’ll vote on proposals for BDSA’s structure & priorities. We’ll also reflect on the end of the primary election season and learn how to apply our hard-won organizing skills to other critical campaigns to build up people power, whether through unionizing at work or fighting for housing as a human right in our cities & towns. Members in good standing, please keep an eye on your email inboxes for 1) an announcement email that includes the proposal we’re voting on and 2) an email from our voting platform, OpenSlides, with your voting credentials. This meeting will be in-person with a hybrid option; please RSVP for the Zoom link. For the in-person meeting, child watch will be provided. Snacks will be available. For the protection of our immunocompromised comrades, we strongly encourage masking; a variety of masks will be available.

  • Wholehearted Praxis Committee Meeting (biweekly)

    September 21, 2026 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
    Online

    Wholehearted Praxis (WHP) is a project in BDSA with the goal of improving our discourse, especially around disagreement. The ways we relate to each other are shaped by capitalism and white supremacy culture, and undoing that conditioning takes conscious work. Our vision is a lively, kind, curious culture of deliberation in which disagreement — and imperfection — are normalized.🪻💜This is a meeting of the Committee that plans WHP programming. If you're interested in the programming itself, fill out this form

  • DSA Ren Faire Outing

    September 26, 2026 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am
    King Richard's Faire, 5 Pine Street, Carver MA, 02330

    We are going on an outing to Ren Faire! The closest renaissance faire/festival (and seemingly the only one within reasonable distance for a day trip) is the King Richards Faire (https://www.kingrichardsfaire.net/). It only runs for 8 weeks in Sept-Oct. Scheduling can be tricky, but there are enough people interested and available for Sept 26th, so thats when we will be going! All ages and people are welcome to come along, but please be mindful that while Ren Faire is family friendly, alcohol is served and there are many who partake.Ticket purchasing: https://tickets.kingrichardsfaire.net/renfestAddress: 5 Pine Street, Carver, MA 02330For folks already familiar with ren faire in general, or this faire in particular, abbreviated details:- Tickets are nearly $50/person (slightly less for children)- Everyone is expected to obtain their own tickets- Carpooling is strongly encouraged, parking is limited and it gets busy FAST- Attending for the most of the day is encouraged to make the most of your ticket. Partial day attendees are certainly welcome, but it may be more difficult to arrange carpooling and you run the risk of parking being limited and needing to take a shuttle.- Join the signal chat to arrange carpooling and be able to meet up with folks when you arrive!- If attending for gates-open at 1030am, its recommended to arrive 50-90 minutes before gates-open if you want to get parking in the main lot / not need to take a shuttle (Carver MA is 40mi and ~60min from Boston).- Cell signal can be hard to acquire (at least in the old location). Please prepare to not have cell service while onsite.For the uninitiated... Welcome! Ren Faire can be great fun for those who enjoy the niche. While its common practice for attendees to dress up in thematic outfits and cosplay, its perfectly acceptable to attend in everyday clothes. Most outfits arent worth fully donning over an hour ahead of time (for travel), so many folks put on the final touches in the lot before entering. There will be many attractions, shows, vendors (food, clothes, trinkets), and other activities throughout the day. There is food onsite, but its a faire so take that into account. You're welcome (and perhaps advised) to bring your own snacks (e.g. granola bars) and water. Gates open at 1030am and close at 6pm.

    The Emergency Tenant Organizing Committee (ETOC) is one of our priority campaigns. We cannot rely on politicians, nonprofits, or NGOs to save us. We organize tenants to fight back against landlord greed, take control of their housing, and end displacement.Join the Housing Working Group (HWG) and the Merrimack Valley Neighborhood Group (MVDSA) for an ETOC training session, following up from the canvass of the Riverwalk Lofts apartments! These trainings are designed to give organizers the skills and tools they need to launch tenant unions in their buildings, as well as to learn best practices for organizing around maintenance issues or rent hikes. This ETOC training will be specifically geared towards the tenants of the Riverwalk Lofts, but all are welcome!
