First, we want to wish all our members and supporters a happy May Day weekend! As we celebrate International Workers’ Day, we’re reminded of everything we as DSA are fighting for: a world free from exploitation, white supremacy, and all forms of oppression, and based on democracy, solidarity, and justice.

The fight for democratic socialism requires organization — and it is almost time to come together and determine the direction of our chapter for the next year! In just two weeks, we will be electing new leadership, adopting a chapter platform and setting three organizational priorities to get us closer to the socialist future we seek to build!

The 2021 East Bay DSA Convention Packet is here!

Meet the candidates running for our Steering Committee and East Bay DSA Convention Delegates. Read the proposed changes to our Platform, and take a look at the Priority proposals for 2021.  

Check your email for an email with the subject “East Bay DSA 2021 Convention Consent Agenda Straw Poll” and fill it out by Sunday May, 7th at 11:59pm to determine which proposals should receive debate time at the Convention and which we will approve via consent agenda. 

Want to submit amendments to our Platform or the Priority Proposals? Fill out the amendment submission form by Sunday May, 7th at 11:59pm.

We believe that thorough debate and discussion helps us come to the best collective decisions. If you want to convince your comrades to vote "yes" or "no" on a convention proposal, write a short position statement and we'll post it on the website! Submit your statement here by May 14th at 12 pm.

Don’t forget to RSVP for the Convention!

RSVP for Day 1 (May 15th, 1-4 pm)

RSVP for Day 2 (May 16th, 1-3 pm)
