Boston DSA

Who We Are

Boston DSA is the Eastern MA chapter of Democratic Socialists of America.

 

We are working against the oppressive capitalist system in its many forms. We see these oppressions — economic inequality, patriarchy, white supremacy, to name a few — as interlinked, intersecting, and inseparable.

 

Join us in building mass movements for the world we deserve and growing an openly socialist presence in communities and politics in the Greater Boston Area.

  • Palestine Working Group Campaign Launch

    April 20, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
    The Community Church of Boston, 565 Boylston St., Boston MA, 02116

    Please join the Palestine Working Group of Boston DSA for its campaign launch! We are building a campaign to add to the pressure on our representatives in DC to end the genocide by calling for a ceasefire and voting against any aid to Israel.

    We will have guest speakers involved in pro-Palestine organizing, as well as a training on how to organize in your community for a ceasefire and a free Palestine.

    Afterward, we will be clipboarding around Boston to talk directly to constituents about the genocide and how they can help stop it from right here in our city.

    Please email ncweiske@gmail.com with any questions and we hope to see you there!
