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.

Join a Boston DSA Working Group

Boston DSA’s working groups carry out the external political work of the chapter. Working groups are centered strategies such as labor organizing (supporting striking workers and educators) or socialist electoral politics (challenging the legislative system). Learn about the working groups and find your organizing home within the chapter.

Protesters march through the streets of Boston holding signs that say "A Better World if Possible Democratic Socialists of America" and "Boston DSA Supports a Free Palestine"

Working Group Spotlight: Palestine

Join the Palestine Working Group! We’re fighting Warren and Markey by building a mass base around three critical issues – a permanent ceasefire, ending weapons shipments to Israel, and delivering immediate relief for Gaza. For the first time in history, the American people are on the side of Palestine – help us organize them!

  • Public Comment Training

    May 6, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
    CCTV, 438 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge MA, 02139

    When policy makers take input from the public, it's often in the format of short speeches at a meeting. In Cambridge, for instance, there is time allocated at the beginning of each regular City Council meeting for residents to comment on any of the agenda items. Showing up to speak on policies under consideration can be a powerful form of advocacy, and developing your skills and confidence with speaking in this format can make the process easier and more effective.

    Presenter Vick Mohanka is Director of Sierra Club Massachusetts, and has over 10 years of professional experience holding public hearings as government staff and as an advocate at the state and local level on a variety of issues including topics like labor rights and climate policy. Join us to learn some tips and tricks to prepare a persuasive public comment, and practice to speak on an issue that matters to you.
