About
Since 2017, Peninsula DSA has been organizing to build working class power to benefit the 99%.
Who We Are
We are San Mateo County residents and activists working together in our local DSA chapter—and sometimes in coalitions—to build a better world that puts people and planet before profit. Our member-driven organization is made possible by comrades volunteering their labor, from each according to their ability. Sign up for our monthly e-newsletter, and read past issues here.
Peninsula DSA is the place to be if you’re interested in
- organizing your workplace (contact EWOC!),
- winning Medicare for All (after CNA wins CalCare),
- building ecosocialism with our Transit 4 All campaign (and Reclaim Our Power’s campaign to municipalize PG&E),
- joining electoral campaigns for DSA candidates (such as South City’s James Coleman)
- canvassing for citizens’ ballot intiatives such as our 2022 universal preschool campaign in SSF and the 2026 campaign for housing justice in RWC, or
- learning about socialism in general (join our reading group!)

Chapter Leadership
Our Steering Committee (SC) is elected annually by our membership to provide leadership and administrative support for the chapter. Two co-chairs each work on tasks related to Agenda (planning and running meetings), Communications (member and external communications), Finance (chapter funds and filings), and Membership (onboarding and engaging members). The Steering Committee can be reached at the chapter’s main email address: info@peninsuladsa.org
- Agenda: Geoff & Spencer
- Communications: Bennet & Raiyan
- Finance: Laura & Kier
- Membership: Allison & Chet
Our current Steering Committee election was elected at PDSA’s general meeting on April 27, 2025.
