Debating Party Building at the 2022 NYC-DSA Convention

Invest in Organizing, Not Costly Consultants
We must invest more in organizing than consultants, which is why B&R NPC members are voting against a new and extremely costly contract with our national harassment grievance officer. They explain their decision and the need for more transparency around staff salaries.
Empower the DSLC to Organize Our Members
It’s a big moment for labor organizing. That’s why it’s more important than ever that DSA’s national office finally give the Democratic Socialist Labor Commission access to the list of DSA chapter leaders.
Keep the NPC Representative of DSA’s Big Tent
The NPC will decide in the coming weeks how to replace three vacancies. B&R believes that the NPC should choose candidates who reflect the politics of the members they’ll be replacing.
