Here in Detroit—and in chapters around the country— Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members are building movements for social change and establishing a democratic socialist presence in American communities and politics. Today, there are two active DSA members in Congress: Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). More are on their way.
