Last November, Boston DSA won big! (Photo collage of Cambridge City Councillors Ayah Al-Zubi and Jivan Sobrinho-Wheeler, and Somerville City Councilor JT Scott) It took a record 100k+ doors knocked by DSA members like you to get them elected. This September, we have a chance for our biggest political upset yet...
For decades, socialists were irrelevant. Then, we started winning. (Photo collage of victorious socialist DSA candidates Chris Rabb, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib)

"Reagan gave the rich and powerful a multibillion-dollar party. Now the party's over, he expects the people to pay for the damage. I take this principal position: Let us not raise taxes on the poor and the middle-class, but those who had the party. The rich and powerful must pay." -Jesse Jackson
Leadership must meet the moral challenge of its day. What is the moral challenge of our day? Economic violence- Jesse Jackson Photo of Rev. Jackson with Bernie Sanders.
If an issue is morally right, it will eventually be political. If we are principled first, our politics will fall into place. -Jesse Jackson

4. Funding matters. Unlike non-profits or NGOs that rely on donations or grants, DSA is funded by member dues just like a union. These resources are shared between the National Org and our Local Chapters where we, the members, get to collectively decide how they are used towards our organizing goals.
Why Join DSA? Here are some reasons why you should consider joining today:
