Get involved →We are the East Bay chapter of Democratic Socialists of America
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the country's largest socialist organization, and East Bay DSA is the fifth-largest chapter in the US. We are working for both an economy and society in Oakland, Berkeley, and throughout the East Bay that are run democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.
Our work
The Socialist Fundamentals Series creates a shared vocabulary and understandings as the basis for debate, solidifies knowledge of socialist fundamentals, and enables members to make informed strategic and tactical decisions. Join us each month as we work through the curriculum
Get involved →Just as local and global divestment campaigns helped dismantle the apartheid regime in South Africa decades ago, we will again meaningfully contribute to the dismantling of the Israeli apartheid state today. Reach out to learn how you too can organize against these atrocities. Together, we will end this genocide.
Get involved →The Trump regime, marked by a naked billionaire takeover of the federal government and an intensifying war on the working class, has awakened millions of Americans to the urgent need to take action. Today’s political terrain is unique in U.S. history and is evolving rapidly. As East Bay DSA responds, our most urgent priority is to support, organize and shape the mass movement that began to develop in the early months of Trump’s administration. Central to that mass movement is a rank-and-file organization of self-organized federal workers, the Federal Unionists Network (FUN).
