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!

  • Somerville DSA July 2026

    July 20, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
    First Church Somerville, Parlor Room, 89 College Ave, Somerville MA, 02144

    Overview

    Join us for our July monthly meeting!

    We'll be discussing the written resolutions for our Priority Campaigns. These campaigns will be what the group thinks will be most important for us to build power and a movement in Somerville. We'll also be plugging Evan Mackay's campaign, and other ongoing projects in DSA.

    Afterwards we'll head to Davis Sq for a social at a nearby bar or restaurant.

    Nobody is turned away for lack of experience!

    Logistics

    If this is your first DSA meeting: Please arrive 15 minutes early so I can go over some basics like community norms and answer questions you may have.

    No food or drinks please! Not only because it can make a mess; the church has a strict no nuts policy. Water is ok.

    We will have a social after at a nearby bar or restaurant so you can get refreshments afterwards.

    Getting into the building: Please come in through the College Ave side, there will be someone holding open the yellow door (not the one in front of the big sign). Then go up the stairs, through the Sanctuary, and into the Parlor on the right.

    Accessible entrance: Please come in through the Francesca Ave entrance. Call me to let you in through the door. Then take a right through the hall and another right. Take the elevator to the second floor and follow signs for the Parlor.

    Workers will win,

    Ryan G - Somerville Co-chair

    Massachusetts needs an honest, accountable, and effective state government that can deliver on our values and stand up to the Trump administration. Wear multiple layers and warm clothes, and bring your positivity and enthusiasm 😊
    Evan MacKay is a union leader, pro-democracy organizer, and a Harvard teaching fellow. As a Cambridge LGBTQ+ Commissioner and the former president of the Harvard Graduate Students’ Union, they’ve been organizing in Cambridge around issues of social, racial, environmental, and economic justice for over a decade.
    Evan is running for state representative in the 25th Middlesex District to fight for a transparent, accountable government that works for the many, not the few. This campaign isn't about one person. It's about a movement for a better world against a corrupt, self-dealing status quo of Democratic state house leadership.
