Who we are

The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States, with over 92,000 members and chapters in all 50 states. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.

With six active committees – Electoral, Housing, Labor, Political Education, Public Power, and Mutual Aid – you are sure to find a place to flex your organizing muscles with CDDSA and make strong friendships along the way! For more information about  CDDSA, we host a “Member Onboarding” session each month where we introduce you to the work of each of our committees, explain the structure of the organization, and answer your organizing questions. Join our email list to be notified when the next session is announced.

What we do

We are a political and activist organization, not a party; through campus and community-based chapters, DSA members use a variety of tactics, from legislative to direct action, to fight for reforms that empower working people.
