Who We Are:: Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States and we are in the midst of explosive growth nationally and locally. We are not a political party; we are an activist organization. Our vision is of a democratically run economy and society that gives power to the people rather than the privileged elites.

Meagan Day and Micah Uetricht’s book, Bigger than Bernie, is a plan for winning socialism regardless of who’s in the White House. The book is a great introduction to:

– the past few years of DSA wins and the coalitions behind them
– class struggle candidates and a “dirty break” from the Democratic Party
– the rank-and-file labor strategy and activism

We’ll discuss more recent DSA and labor organizing campaigns, protests, and police unions – and take questions from y’all.
