We built a formidable campaign. In a race where our opponent had to resort to 6 Super PACs, we built a movement of people that came within striking distance.
Thank you Evan! (pic of Evan MacKay against a red backdrop)

Socialists were irrelevant, until suddenly they weren’t. Last night, @socialists.nyc won BIG. 2 new congresswomen, a new state senator, and 7 new state assembly members.
For decades, socialists were irrelevant. Then, we started winning. (Photo collage of victorious socialist DSA candidates Chris Rabb, Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Zohran Mamdani, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib)Yesterday, New York socialists won BIG.

7 new State Assembly members

Today we are remembering the life of activist and author Lou Sullivan. Lou began journaling as a child and wrote extensively about his experience and identity as a gay, trans man. As an adult, Lou advocated for himself and other trans men.

Around this photo are newspaper clippings and another photo of him with someone with someone else over notebook paper, they're a little harder to make out but it's giving scrapbook.

He stood with Cuba and against apartheid South Africa. And he did it all in the shadow of having seen his friend and mentor murdered in front of him. His loss will be deeply felt. We must recommit ourselves to carrying on his legacy and, in his words, keeping hope alive.
"Reagan gave the rich and powerful a multibillion-dollar party. Now the party's over, he expects the people to pay for the damage. I take this principal position: Let us not raise taxes on the poor and the middle-class, but those who had the party. The rich and powerful must pay."

Jackson's Presidential campaigns fired back, laying out a vision of a multiracial America that inspired both his adherent Bernie Sanders and the entire democratic socialist movement. Jackson held the line on Palestine, on gay rights, on racial justice, and on economic justice.
Leadership must meet the moral challenge of its day. What is the moral challenge of our day? Economic violence- Jesse Jackson

Boston DSA joins the rest of the country in mourning the passing of Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jackson began his career fighting for economic liberation in the Civil Rights Movement. Unlike many leaders from that era, he remained influential despite a brutal right wing backlash.
If an issue is morally right, it will eventually be political. If we are principled first, our politics will fall into place.
