DSA and Protest Solidarity
How can DSA organize most effectively to support the movement for Black lives?
Why Workers Need A Political Party
The successes and limitations of Bernie Sanders’s campaigns showed why we need a working-class party to extend and deepen what the campaign achieved.

The Left cannot roll the clock back to 2015 and abstain from or give short shrift to elections. Alongside rank-and-file labor work and movement building, class-struggle campaigns are a key part of our strategy.
Two Ways Out of the Pandemic
We may see a new round of capital consolidation and a powerful mobilization on the far right. Or a radicalized working class movement can prevail in shaping the new economy.

Class Struggle and Direct Service
Let’s take on direct service strategically, and only when it builds the power of our class to fight.
