Our mission is to establish democratic socialism as a political force in the United States and around the world by training and mobilizing socialist activists to participate in a vibrant and diverse socialist organization at both the local and the national level. DSA both educates the public about democratic socialist values and policies and builds progressive coalitions to win victories that move the U.S. and the world toward social democracy. In the near term, democratic socialists struggle for reforms that shift power and resources away from corporate elites and put them in the hands of ordinary citizens. In the long term, democratic socialists fight for a world in which all people share equally in the governing of the economic, political and cultural institutions and relationships that shape their lives.
			Your Contribution Is Appreciated but because of our advocacy work, not tax deductible.

TAKE ACTION!

Healthcare Atrocity: Boycott Hyatt Hotels After more than two years of contract negotiations, crisis looms as Hyatt threatens to strip health insurance from 1500 Chicago workers and their families unless they give up their fight and abandon their boycotts. In so doing, Hyatt is forcing workers to choose between their families' immediate medical needs and a fight for their long-term survival. In negotiations, Hyatt has refused to budge on crucial demands to curb subcontracting and ease working conditions for housekeepers-demands met by Hilton and other hotel employers citywide. In response, Hyatt workers have stood up and made tough sacrifices by striking and calling for hotel boycotts. Please join us in sending a message to Hyatt's CEO Mark Hoplamazian to maintain health insurance until Hyatt workers win a just settlement! CLICK HERE. For more information about the boycott of Hyatt hotels, CLICK HERE.
