Ventura County is excited to announce that we are participating in the
DSA 100k Membership Drive. Our goal is to grow our chapter by 10% -
that’s about 20 new members. We want to engage new members in our
campaigns, expand our base, build more power and influence for the
working class, and develop member skills at relational
organizing.

Why Recruit?
The Democratic Socialists of
America (DSA) is the largest and fastest growing socialist
organization in the United States with more than 72,000
members and over 200 chapters across the country and every
state. Together, we work to build a mass movement that can stop
evictions, defund the police, win Medicare for All, a Green New Deal,
and so much more.
We seek to organize the working
class into fights against bosses, landlords, corporations, and corrupt
politicians -- to take back power from them. Our power comes from our
strength in numbers, and when we stand together we can win our
transformative demands.
What is the DSA100k Drive?
At the 2019 DSA National
Convention, delegates from around the country established a goal of
growing our membership to 100k. DSA National’s Growth and Development
Committee has developed a national recruitment drive that runs from
October 1st through November 7th.
The heart of the national
recruitment drive is the DSA 100k Pledge, which all members are encouraged to take.
The pledge involves identifying three people that you think would be
willing to join DSA if asked. Each person that takes the pledge will
be given a custom referral link to share with family, friends, and
co-workers!
There is also a leaderboard
that will display the names of individual members and
chapters to reflect efforts during
the recruitment drive.
The first 500 people to reach their
goal of recruiting 3 new members will get a limited-edition DSA hat,
and the next 1000 will also get some special swag. You’ll be able to
demonstrate your participation and pride building a mass socialist
organization!
DSA Ventura County is also giving
away some special prizes to our chapter members! The first member to
recruit 3 new members, and the member to be the top of the leaderboard
at the end of the drive will win your choice of a sweater/hoodie, two
shirts, or flag from the
DSA store.
How Will DSA Ventura County Participate?
The goal nationally is to recruit
5,000 new members, and for every chapter to increase its membership by
10%. For Ventura County DSA - that would be recruiting just 20
new members. Our chapter is excited to onboard new members,
so we plan to discuss the drive at all chapter events through Nov.
7th, and promote national training and resources.
All DSA members interested in
growing the organization are also welcome to join the national DSA call that talks more about
the drive, and provides training on the 100k Pledge. We encourage all our members to take the
DSA
100k Pledge.
If you are not yet a member, you can join here.
