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!

    September 27, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
    Sennott Park, 237 Harvard St, Cambridge MA, 02141

    Join Boston DSA Comrades in Sennott Park to support Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler for Cambridge City Council and talk to neighbors about how to build a more affordable, sustainable, and just Cambridge.

    Jivan is a four-time Boston DSA endorsee currently serving his second term on the Cambridge City Council and running for reelection! Most recently, Jivan along with other DSA endorsees and members led the successful effort to ban forced broker fees for tenants in Massachusetts.

    In his time in office, Jivan has pushed to redirect police budgets toward community services, dramatically increase the city's supply of affordable housing, and build safer bike infrastructure throughout Cambridge.

    Never canvassed before? No worries! Experienced canvassers will be on hand to train and guide new volunteers.

    Be sure to download the MiniVAN app on your phone, charge it well, and bring water!
