Every two years, DSA members elect convention delegates from their local chapters to set the strategy for the entire organization through debates and votes and by electing the National Political Committee (NPC). Atlanta DSA has been allocated 22 delegates and 2 alternates for the 2025 DSA National Convention, which will be held August 8-10 in Chicago. In order to be considered as a delegate, you must fill out and submit the form below and be endorsed by five members in good standing by 11:59 PM on May 17, 2025. Delegates will be elected at our general meeting on Saturday, May 31.

Join ATLDSA AfroSoc for a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Workshop examining how dominant cultural patterns affect our chapter's inclusivity on May 17 from 1-3:30 PM at 711 Catherine St SW. Based on the 2023 National DSA Democracy Commission Report findings, this interactive session aims to identify potential characteristics of exclusionary culture in our organizing and develop concrete strategies for positive change. Participants will explore how these experiences connect to broader cultural patterns in society through individual reflection, pair sharing, and group discussion.

On April 19th, Atlanta Amazon Teamster driver Hunter Richau was illegally fired after he and his coworkers openly confronted their boss over going back on a promise of bonus pay after a particularly profitable month. Hunter and his coworkers are trailblazers, the second group of officially unionized Amazon workers in Georgia.
In the meantime, ATLDSA is asking for donations to help Hunter pay his bills until he can get back on his feet. Our support is all the more important due to the Trump administration's hostility to workers and their attacks on organized labor, slowing down the already very slow National Labor Relations Board unfair labor practice process. Thank you for your contribution to supporting our comrade and the Atlanta labor movement!
