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!

  • Phonebank For Parking Reform and Social Housing

    June 22, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

    Phonebank: Parking Reform Today, Social Housing Tomorrow

    The
    time has come to organize for social housing in Boston proper! As a
    first step to winning permanently affordable, publicly owned,
    mixed-income social housing, the HWG is asking folks to support efforts
    to eliminate parking mandates for new housing in Boston
    Parking
    mandates drive up the cost of building new housing, and nearly 40% of
    parking that is built goes unused! As long as this restriction is in
    place, it will be difficult to build social housing. The Boston City
    Council is considering eliminating parking mandates after a hearing on
    the matter last week. Join for the Housing Working Group to phonebank DSA members in Boston and encourage them to write to their city councilor in support of parking reform and social housing.
