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!

Phonebank For Parking Reform and Social Housing
July 27, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
OnlinePhonebank: Parking Reform Today, Social Housing Tomorrow
The
time has come to organize for social housing in Boston proper! As a
first step to winning permanently affordable, publicly owned,
mixed-income social housing, the HWG is asking folks to support efforts
to eliminate parking mandates for new housing in Boston.Parking
mandates drive up the cost of building new housing, and nearly 30% of
parking that is built goes unused! As long as this restriction is in
place, it will be difficult to build social housing. The Boston City
Council is considering eliminating parking mandates after a hearing on
the matter last week. Join for the Housing Working Group to phonebank DSA members in Boston and encourage them to write to their city councilor in support of parking reform and social housing.*Link to RSVP on ActionNetwork:* https://actionnetwork.org/events/phonebank-for-parking-reform-and-social-housing-2
