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!

  • 2026 Immigrants Day at the State House

    March 18, 2026 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm
    Massachussetts State House, 24 Beacon St, Boston MA, 02133

    Join Boston DSA's contingent in support of MIRA's 30th annual Immigrants Day at the State House! We will be signing up as a group, networking with other advocacy organizations, and meeting with our legislators to push for the following things in the statehouse:

    • Ban 287(g) partnerships - these are agreements between local police and ICE to collaborate
    • Prohibit informal collaboration with ICE
    • Prohibit immigration arrests in and around courthouses without a judicial warrant
    • Detention standards for MA facilities housing immigration detainees

    Many of these are effectively in the PROTECT Act proposed by the Massachusetts Black and Latino Legislative Caucus (MBLLC). More details on the PROTECT Act can be found here.

    The MIRA Coalition is also open to other legislation that achieve the above goals, with the legislative situation changing rapidly in recent weeks. It is urgent we pressure the legislature to make the passed bill as strong as possible.

    Below is MIRA's description and outline of the day:

    Bring your lived experiences and policy expertise directly to decision-makers. Together, we will help shape policies that reflect the needs, dignity, and humanity of our immigrant communities.

    Massachusetts legislators need to hear from their own constituents and advocates—now more than ever—about the issues that matter most and the bills required to address them.

    Event Program:

    9:30am Arrival and Networking
    10:00am BVocal Choir Performance and Opening
    10:30am Speaking Program
    11:15am Legislative Meetings Orientation
    11:30am Dismiss for Meetings
    11:45am Legislative Meetings Start

    Finally, whether you can or can't make it in person, please sign the petition to demand state leadership act on these demands: https://www.lucemass.org/courts
