 Take Big Swings.

• Run AOC 2028 To Win A Democratic Socialist President

• Build New Black and Latino Democratic Socialist Electorates In 2028

• Build The Party! - A Party From Coast To Coast

• 2029 City Council Strategy: Electing a Socialist Speaker

As socialists, we must take advantage of this current moment of crisis to build power! Strong national and statewide races are necessary to grow the movement and cohere a new multiracial working class electorate.

 Run Strong Statewide Campaigns. 

• From Brooklyn to Buffalo: Building DSA Electoral Power Statewide

• Tax The Rich Priority Campaign

• Ecosocialist Priority Campaign

In order to win high profile statewide races and to Tax The Rich, NYC-DSA must dedicate its time and resources to building statewide chapters!

 Commit to Racial Justice & Diverse Recruitment.

• Build Community Safety through Prevention, Not Policing

• Organize our Base: Black and Latinx Membership Drive

• Cultivate South Asian Working-Class Socialists in NYC-DSA

• Put Members First: Hire an additional Membership Staffer

We cannot build lasting power in New York City without addressing the NYPD and organizing Black and Brown communities! To be an effective party, we must become representative of the multiracial working class and develop more leaders of color.

 Build The Party.

• $1.25M: Funding a Fighting Working Class

• Strengthening Our Press Strategy

• Party Over Politician

• Party Over Campaign

DSA is an independent working class organization, and the most important vehicle for the socialist movement in the US in decades. Our continued growth and stability is the only bulwark we have against ascendant fascism. We must put the party first, and Socialists Must Lead!
