East Bay DSA is comprised of hundreds of volunteers who work every week, even every day, to build a progressive community in the East Bay. DSA campaign work comes in many forms, including canvassing, calling, posting, and organizing among its members and the greater community.
As a chapter we are involved in the following campaigns.
Top Priority Campaign
At our 20245 convention, we as a chapter voted to prioritize a single campaign as top priority for 2025/26, with many members committing to at least 2 hrs of work on the campaign.
Fighting Trump’s Oligarchy in Solidarity with Federal Workers
The fight against Trump’s oligarchy is East Bay DSA’s top priority for the coming year. A central focus of our campaign is solidarity support of the Federal Unionists Network, a large and growing group of self-organized federal workers who play a strategic role in the national struggle, and here in the Bay Area. Our campaign will build the movement for socialism in the East Bay by engaging local federal workers in the struggle. And it will connect their fight to protect federal jobs, unions and programs with local political struggles and with the local struggles of union workers (such as teachers, nurses and academic workers) as they fight to serve our community.
Check our Events calendar for upcoming meetings and actions.

Priority Campaigns
At our 2025 convention, we as a chapter voted to prioritize other campaigns for 2025/26.
Divest From Apartheid
We as a chapter have been organizing for Palestinian liberation and anti-imperialism at large for years and officially took a stance as an anti-Zionist organization in 2023. Comrades here in the East Bay across faiths, identities, and circumstances are deeply committed to this work and it kicked into high gear in October 2023 as we responded to the escalations of the Israeli apartheid regime. Projects such as Bay Area Labor For Palestine, and our work supporting Oakland educators who have faced repercussions for being in open support of Gaza, have helped us build a foundation to do more.
At our 2024 convention, we as a chapter voted overwhelmingly to regroup, recommit, double-down, and push to DIVEST from the Israeli war machine! Now the top priority campaign for our ranks, and hot on the heels of divestment wins in Hayward and Richmond, we are pushing to take even more resources and dollars out of the Israeli terror state and make a material impact against the genocide. We are privileged to be in community with many principled local organizations as part of the Bay Area Divest! coalition and ask that you sign and circulate our petition by clicking here to help make the collective voice of the people ring loud and clear!
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.
