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 Rent Control Signature Collection 🍕

    May 20, 2026 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
    Arthur Healey School Playground, 5 Meacham St, Somerville MA, 02145

    Renters are getting squeezed harder every year while landlords keep raising prices. Take action and talk with neighbors about why we need real rent control and to build support for policies that keep people in their homes.

    We will be attending Somerville's Slice of the City event (see here for details) to collect signatures for the rent control ballot initiative. City officials, including City Councilors and the Mayor, will be present, so this is also a good opportunity to observe their reactions to the rent control ballot question and pressure them to support the measure.

    On top of that, there will be FREE PIZZA

    Wear your DSA swag if you have some so we can be a visible group in our city!

    Please RSVP so I know how many clipboards and signature forms to bring
