Self-nominate for this year’s DSA-LA leadership elections!
Now more than ever working class Americans are looking for an alternative to the capitalist two-party system — to say no to both Trumpism and the failed liberalism that gave rise to it. And to do that, we need leaders to harness the power of our growing membership. Enter DSA-LA’s annual leadership elections. As a truly democratic organization, DSA-LA gives members the opportunity to step up and become leaders, and to vote on the candidates who we believe will lead our organization into one that is capable of meeting the urgency of the moment. All members in good standing are encouraged to nominate themselves for leadership positions using this form. Check your membership here.
This nomination is for local officers and it will be open until November 22nd. Local offices include 9 positions on our Steering Committee, YDSA coordinator, as well as 2 Branch Coordinators for each of our five branches. After local officer elections conclude, there will be a second election cycle for subgroup officers starting on December 16th. Here’s the full schedule.

Before the voting period starts, we encourage all candidates and voters to attend the candidate forum on December 7th. This will give you a chance to learn more about the candidates, and the different visions for our chapter moving forward.

In Solidarity,
DSA-LA Nominations Committee
