DSA

Acting like an independent party + rank-and-file power + political leadership = new day for DSA?

By electing full-time national co-chairs and spokespeople, DSA will be better equipped to engage in national political debates and to make its national office accountable to democratic decision-making.

To fight the right in 2024 while maintaining our independence, DSA delegates should vote yes on “Defend Democracy Through Political Independence.”

To unlock DSA’s full potential, a multi-tendency commission is needed to review and overhaul the organization. Delegates at the 2023 DSA National Convention can launch that commission.

We must reject the premise that we cannot afford to organize, because we cannot afford not to.

YDSA is growing — 150% since its 2020 convention. The YDSA resolution at the DSA National Convention argues that to keep growing and building lifelong socialists, YDSA needs to be able to govern itself. That will build DSA as well.

DSAers mostly agree we need to create an independent, party-like political alternative. But without a plan it won’t happen. Vote yes on Amendment I: “Act Like an Independent Party” to start making a roadmap!

Like-minded DSA members join together in unofficial groups to support their goals. Here’s what they’re about.

DSA’s approach to internationalism doesn’t center working-class struggle enough. Delegates to the 2023 Convention can change that with a vote for Amendment C to the IC Consensus Resolution: For a Class-Struggle Internationalism.

DSA’s labor work is taking off. Delegates to the 2023 National Convention should vote down amendments that would steer it in a tamer direction.
