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!

  • Ecosocialism Public Comment for the Boston City Budget

    March 24, 2026 @ 5:45 pm - 8:00 pm
    Government Center Plaza, 3 Center Plz, Boston MA, 02108

    Boston is having a public meeting at 6pm on 3/24 to allow for public comment on the city's budget. We're meeting outside of Boston City Hall in the Government Center Plaza at 5:45pm. All are welcome to give public comment or simply observe and provide support! We're asking all commenters to ask that the budget address the two issues below (but feel free to make it your own and speak to your own experiences!):

    1. Open new public restrooms in high-traffic areas, particularly near T stations, to ensure as many Boston residents and visitors as possible have access to this critical public infrastructure.

    2. Improve the experience of using existing public restrooms by extending hours, increasing maintenance frequency, implementing accessibility upgrades, and updating public-facing information to bring us as close as possible to free, 24/7, clean, universally accessible public restrooms.
