The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International (also in Francais and Espanol). DSA's members are building progressive movements for social change while establishing an openly socialist presence in American communities and politics.
At the root of our socialism is a profound commitment to democracy, as means and end. We are activists committed not only to extending political democracy but to demanding democratic empowerment in the economy, in gender relations, and in culture. Democracy is not simply one of our political values but our means of restructuring society. Our vision is of a society in which people have a real voice in the choices and relationships that affect the entirety of our lives. We call this vision democratic socialism - a vision of a more free, democratic and humane society.
In this web site you can find out about DSA, its politics, structure and program. DSA's political perspective is called Where We Stand. It says, in part,
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo. We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources,meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.
To forge a new American politics DSA has launched the Campaign for Economic Justice. The Campaign for Economic Justice has three central tenets:
economic justice and security require first, that corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share, and second, that every American deserves a living wage and benefits for the work s/he does; all Americans - men and women of all races, ages, sexual orientations and beliefs - must receive just and adequate rewards for their work; Americans must work with others around the world to ensure that everyone receives a living wage and to guarantee that corporations do not exploit people or the planet. We invite you to support the campaign by adding your name to the list of signers of the Pledge for Economic Justice. In conjunction with the Campaign DSA is working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a network of more than 50 progressive members of the US House of Representatives. DSA has a Youth Section. Made up of students from colleges and high schools and young people in the work force, the Youth Section works on economic justice and democracy and prison justice projects. It is a member of the Interantional Union of Socialist Youth, an affiliate of the Socialist International. The Youth Section meets several times during the year. More information is available from the Youth Section staff person Kevin Pranis.
To advance the cause of socialism, DSA has established the Center for Democratic Values. The Center for Democratic Values is a network of intellectuals committed to bringing progressive ideas on society, the economy, and government into mainstream discussions. CDV produces letters to the editor, op-eds, pamphlets, and books.
This web site also includes an extensive set of resources, including bibliographies, pamphlets and links to information on socialism and US politics in general. We have also added a site index to help you find your way to the information you want.
Please join DSA as we work to help build a better and more just world for all.
