Detroit DSA is a 1200+ member funded organization. We
receive no money from outside sources so we can say things like
"Defund the Police" and "Abolish ICE" without losing funding, and we
will always act democratically in the interests of our members and the
working class! If you're able to,
we ask that you make monthly contributions as they
more directly benefit our chapter. Thank you for whatever amount
you're able to contribute!
Our records indicate that you are not

Meeting on the 11th, and Motor

With so much on deck for the next

🌹 UPCOMING EVENTS 🌹
Detroit for All Phonebank
Wednesdays at 6:30PM
We're restarting our weekly Detroit For All phone banks
every Wednesday from 6:30-8PM to help recruit
volunteers to our weekend canvasses. The calls should be super
easy - you'll be contacting lists of DSA
members and Bernie supporters to ask them to
sign up to canvass with us. Based on the latest field plan, we need 8
canvassers at each event in order to hit our voter outreach goals and
this is a great way to help us get there. No experience
necessary, training will be provided at the start of each
event.
