Detroit DSA is a 800+ 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 yet a member. If you're ready to join us in the fight for the working class, go to dsausa.org/join <[link removed]>and join today!
