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!

  • DSA Ren Faire Outing

    October 3, 2026 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am
    King Richard's Faire, 5 Pine Street, Carver MA, 02330

    NOTE: This has been rescheduled from Sept 26th due to weather.

    We are going on an outing to Ren Faire! The closest renaissance faire/festival (and seemingly the only one within reasonable distance for a day trip) is the King Richards Faire (https://www.kingrichardsfaire.net/). It only runs for 8 weeks in Sept-Oct. Scheduling can be tricky, but there are enough people interested and available for Oct 3rd, so thats when we will be going! All ages and people are welcome to come along, but please be mindful that while Ren Faire is family friendly, alcohol is served and there are many who partake.

    Ticket purchasing: https://tickets.kingrichardsfaire.net/renfest
    Address: 5 Pine Street, Carver, MA 02330
    For folks already familiar with ren faire in general, or this faire in particular, abbreviated details:
    - Tickets are nearly $50/person (slightly less for children)
    - Everyone is expected to obtain their own tickets
    - Carpooling is strongly encouraged, parking is limited and it gets busy FAST
    - Attending for the most of the day is encouraged to make the most of your ticket. Partial day attendees are certainly welcome, but it may be more difficult to arrange carpooling and you run the risk of parking being limited and needing to take a shuttle.
    - Join the signal chat to arrange carpooling and be able to meet up with folks when you arrive!
    - If attending for gates-open at 1030am, its recommended to arrive 50-90 minutes before gates-open if you want to get parking in the main lot / not need to take a shuttle (Carver MA is 40mi and ~60min from Boston).
    - Cell signal can be hard to acquire (at least in the old location). Please prepare to not have cell service while onsite.
    For the uninitiated... Welcome! Ren Faire can be great fun for those who enjoy the niche. While its common practice for attendees to dress up in thematic outfits and cosplay, its perfectly acceptable to attend in everyday clothes. Most outfits arent worth fully donning over an hour ahead of time (for travel), so many folks put on the final touches in the lot before entering. There will be many attractions, shows, vendors (food, clothes, trinkets), and other activities throughout the day. There is food onsite, but its a faire so take that into account. You're welcome (and perhaps advised) to bring your own snacks (e.g. granola bars) and water. Gates open at 1030am and close at 6pm.
