DSA

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.

Voting, elections, panels, trainings, plenaries… wondering how DSA can get everything done in one convention weekend? We can’t! That’s why we need to revive the National Activist Conference.

DSA needs a democratically-chosen and accountable national editorial board. And we need a place for comrades to have principled arguments about organizing and strategy.

At the 2023 National Convention, it is up to DSA’s active layer to force the most important questions: Where does DSA stand? How did we get here? And how can we leverage the coming year and convention to build our organization and the socialist movement?
