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 2023 Chapter Priority Campaign

Boston DSA members vote on organizing campaigns to prioritize and focus on every year. Our 2023 campaigns are “We Keep Us Safe: Growing Direct Action, Safety & Security in Our Community” and “Expanding Socialists in Office Committees.” Learn more about our priorities and get involved today.

Join a BDSA 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.

  • Palestine Working Group Campaign Launch

    April 20, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
    The Community Church of Boston, 565 Boylston St., Boston MA, 02116

    Please join the Palestine Working Group of Boston DSA for its campaign launch! We are building a campaign to add to the pressure on our representatives in DC to end the genocide by calling for a ceasefire and voting against any aid to Israel.

    We will have guest speakers involved in pro-Palestine organizing, as well as a training on how to organize in your community for a ceasefire and a free Palestine.

    Afterward, we will be clipboarding around Boston to talk directly to constituents about the genocide and how they can help stop it from right here in our city.

    Please email ncweiske@gmail.com with any questions and we hope to see you there!
