Statement from DSA's National Political Committee. DSA Condemns Trump’s β€œBig Beautiful Bill” and Calls for House to Vote β€œNo”
July 1, 2025. 1 of 4 The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) condemns Donald Trump’s so-called β€œBig Beautiful Bill”, and with its recent passage in the Senate 51-50, we urge all people of conscience to call their representatives and make their voices heard.

This bill would be one of the largest cash grabs by the billionaires in world history.

This bill supports massive cuts to Medicaid and will lead to as many as 17 million poor and disabled Americans losing their Medicaid and accessible healthcare cuts to rural hospitals and nursing homes will target our most vulnerable.

The problem is not that Donald Trump bombed Iran without congressional approval, it's that he bombed Iran at all. The United States actively destroys the Middle East for its own economic interests. Constitutional or not, all US military action in the Middle East must be opposed.

Donald Trump is about to send U.S. soldiers to die for Israel in a war with Iran, a war that Americans don't want and Iranians don't deserve. Join us in a letter writing campaign urging our Oregon state reps to sign on to these War Powers Resolutions!

Statement from DSA’s National Political Committee. On the Release of Mahmoud Khalil. June 20, 2025
Today, after spending more than 100 days in illegal detention over 1400 miles from his wife and newborn son, Mahmoud Khalil is set to be freed, as a federal judge in New Jersey has ordered his immediate release. Mahmoud, a Palestinian-American who graduated from a master’s program at Columbia University while in detention, is a US permanent resident and was arrested solely for speaking out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine. As we wrote in our March statement about Mahmoud, his detention is not just a clear violation of constitutional rights but contrary to democratic ideals and a blatant attempt at silencing political dissent and suppressing the working-class mass movement for a free Palestine. 
We celebrate the release of Mahmoud Khalil and his immediate reunification with his wife, newborn son, and his community. 
As the largest socialist organization in the country, we will continue to defend the right to free speech and protest. While today’s ruling is a win against the increasing authoritarianism of the Trump administration, DSA will continue to fight against the detention of immigrants and political prisoners taking place all over the country. We will continue our work to dismantle the institutions that uphold and enable oppression both here and abroad, to build a world where all of us are free.

The American empire wants war with Iran, just as it wanted war with Afghanistan and Iraq. We stand with the people of Iran against the American empire’s attempt to expand.

This Juneteenth, we remember that the historic tasks of reconstruction have been left unfinished by our capitalist class. Black people today are forced into some of the most exploited sections of the working class. We fight to bring reconstruction to its conclusion.

We stand for socialism and class war against the Trump administration. The corporate Democrats who overwhelmingly dominate Washington County politics (including the Washington County Board of Commissioners) stand for collaboration with his far-right administration.

Hi Charlie,

Currently our priority is defending DEI from being removed by the Washington County Board of Commissioners, however our parent chapter (Portland DSA) might prepare some letters for Maxine Dexter.

DON'T SPREAD FEAR, BUILD PEOPLE POWER. Rather than repost stories about ICE on social media: If you see or hear of ICE activity, call the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition rapid response hotline: 1-888-622-1510.

While Brad was released, the two immigrants he accompanied remain behind bars. Every day, ICE kidnaps over a thousand people. Every night, protestors gather outside this same courthouse to demand we free them all. It's on us to keep the pressure up and fight for their safe release
