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.
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!

Join the Immigration and Internationalism Working Group (IIWG) while we collect signatures for our petition!
Clipboarding is a form of outreach that removes tables from the equation so that there's no need to secure a permit. In public spaces, we will hand out general literature / resources in relation to our campaign and ask for passersby to sign our petition.
We'll review talking points and strategies as we go. We welcome both seasoned comrades and those new to organizing. Bring a friend!
The IIWG's Safe Communities Campaign aims to win safe, affordable communities for all working-class people in Greater Boston by defending immigrant workers from the dual terror of ICE raids and housing displacement.
