DSA National Convention for All
At this convention, let's build a DSA for All!
It’s time to change DSA into a force strong enough to reshape the country. To organize on the scale of the next presidential election, potential general strike, and whatever other national ruptures may come. The way electing Zohran is changing NYC? We need DSA members able to make that level of change everywhere, and on a national level too.
The only way to do so is to become a genuine, mass political party. An organization in the millions, that anyone whose values align with ours can easily hear about, understand, support, join, and learn to organize in. The kind that can transform and run nations.
By electing our leadership slate and passing our platform at the 2025 DSA National Convention, every member nationwide will come back in 2027 knowing two things: you have more power to change things inside DSA, and you have more power to change the world through it.
Learn more about our vision by listening to these episodes. They are discussion panels that we hosted on zoom. You can watch the corresponding videos on our youtube channel: youtube.com/@GroundworkDSA
