Boston DSA

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!

    Meetings are typically hybrid.

  • PEWG Monthly Meeting

    October 24, 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
    zoom, zoom, 02138

    October will be hybrid: we will be at Friends Meeting at Cambridge at 5 Longfellow Park, Cambridge, MA 02138 in the Parlor/Library. Social in Harvard Square after! One note from the meeting space is that we can't have any food there.

    Boston DSA's Political Education Working Group meets on the fourth or last Thursday of every month at 7 pm, unless we have to move it for a holiday, which happens more often than you'd think.
    PEWG's goal is to provide our members with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to organize effectively and strategically, and to educate the wider public on DSA's vision for a socialist future and the often-erased leftist movements of the past. PEWG hosts a number of ongoing projects, such as the chapter's political education blog (bostonpewg.org), our Socialist Night School series, and periodic New Member Reading Groups (abcsofsocialism@gmail.com).

    We also run one-time (or a-few-times) events such as reading groups, lectures, and panel discussions; and work with other working groups in the chapter to run political education events related to their areas of organization.
    Working group meetings and events always have a zoom option if you cant make it in person. You can find our meeting's Zoom link or join the working group's mailing list at https://actionnetwork.org/forms/join-the-political-education-working-group?source=direct_link&
    If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us at education@bostondsa.org.
