Introducing our new Democratic Socialist Program for Los Angeles |
|
At our last local convention, DSA-LA members voted to prioritize a plan that would strengthen our ability to influence our local political landscape.
One element of that plan involved doing deep analysis of our local conditions in order to develop a "Democratic Socialist Program" that could help us identify winnable priorities that would make a material difference in lives of Angelenos, screen candidates seeking our endorsement, and articulate our socialist theory of change.
The document was drafted by members working with our Electoral Committee, but in order to make sure that it would be representative of the desires of the entire membership, we conducted a vote, which concluded on Monday night. Here are the results:
For: 289 Against: 67 Result: With 81.2% in favor of ratification, the Program is now official.
We're very excited to see so much unity in favor of the Program and are excited to begin rolling it out! If you're interested in learning what's next, make sure you attend tonight's upcoming Electoral Politics Committee Meeting and Subscribe to their newsletter.
