Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is the country's largest socialist organization, and East Bay DSA is the fifth-largest chapter in the US. We are working for both an economy and society in Oakland, Berkeley, and throughout the East Bay that are run democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.

Divest From Apartheid
Just as local and global divestment campaigns helped dismantle the apartheid regime in South Africa decades ago, we will again meaningfully contribute to the dismantling of the Israeli apartheid state today. Reach out to learn how you too can organize against these atrocities. Together, we will end this genocide.

Fighting Trump’s Oligarchy in Solidarity with Federal Workers
The Trump regime is marked by a naked billionaire takeover of the federal government. As East Bay DSA responds, our most urgent priority is to support, organize and shape the mass movement opposing the Trump administration. Central to that mass movement is a rank-and-file organization of federal workers, the Federal Unionists Network (FUN).
