Join DSA!

The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States because we’re a member-driven mass organization. We are a political and activist organization, not a party. We believe that working people should run both the economy and civil society, and we show our commitment to this principle by being an organization of, by, and for the working class.

Join DSA today, and Peninsula DSA’s Membership co-chairs will get you started (and invite you to the PDSA Slack).

And please subscribe to our email list to stay up to date on PDSA news and events!

Events

Check out Peninsula DSA’s complete event calendar (or #events on Slack) for all confirmed virtual and in-person events.
