The Capital District DSA Chapter is an entirely member-funded organization, and we rely on contributions from members like you to support all of our work and campaigns.

The quickest and easiest way to join or renew is to do so online. If you’re renewing, use the email address currently associated with your DSA membership. If you want to change the email address you use for DSA communications, email . You can also mail this form with a check or money order to Democratic Socialists of America, PO Box 1038, New York, NY 10272. 

If you choose to join as a Movement Builder  – a monthly dues paying member, the amount you select or enter on the membership form is the amount you will be charged every month. Our system does not automatically calculate monthly installments.  If you would like the dues to be charged on a specific day of the month (for example, the 15th of every month), you will have to sign up on that date.

You don’t need your membership card to go to DSA events! Once you’ve paid dues, you’re considered a full member, so you can vote in local elections as well.

There’s no difference between any of the options in terms of membership benefits. We work to make our membership accessible to all. Because we’re member-funded, we just ask that people join at the level they can.
