Build To Win, Win To Build: Public Renewables, & the GNDCC β€” Groundwork β€œThe feeling I had that day after four years of organizing culminated in a historic win is one every DSA member deserves to experience.”

What happens *after* you win a four year fight to pass historic ecosocialist legislation? You start an even bigger fight to make sure your state does it right, and start new fights nationwide too.

Vote for One Member One Vote at the DSA convention this year if you believe in our membership. It's time to put political power in the hands of members. We say we aren't just another top-down political NGO. It's time to act like it and be truly member run.

Power to the members! DSA needs 1 member 1 vote.

Currently, we are structured to have a small number of people in charge of our national political decisions. Only one member one vote puts members first and puts power into your hands.

not as much DSA discourse on here, but if you are interested, I wrote a piece on what I think is the most important step in changing National DSA from a top down patchwork that is weaker than many individual DSA chapters, into a real, democratically run mass party that can change the world

The Smear Campaign Against Zohran Mamdani Failed. That’s a Huge Deal. Mamdani understood what the people who tried to demonize him did not: that voters aren’t buying the same old smears about Palestine anymore.
