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.

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!

Cambridge DSA December Meeting
December 21, 2024 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
First Church in Cambridge, 11 Garden St, Cambridge MA, 02138Join us for our monthly meeting at First Church, 11 Garden St, in the Harter Room.
We have two active campaigns in progress - Let Cambridge Choose and Harvard PILOT. We'll hear updates and next steps on both.
Building trust, care, and respect into our space is critical to the effectiveness of our work together. Our group has grown a *lot* since the last time we took an intentional look at our community agreements, so we're going to take some time for that at this meeting.
We'll also address the question of what it would mean to designate one of these as our Priority Campaign.
If you're interested in the Cambridge Working Group but can't make it, you can still get involved by filling out our member survey.
