DSA celebrated May Day as more than a holiday: a reminder that the working class has always won by organizing, striking and acting together. From Haymarket to May Day 2028, the fight is for a world run by and for workers, not profit. inthesetimes.com/article/demo...
Screenshot of an In These Times article titled “Why Democratic Socialists Are Taking to the Streets This May Day” by Will Bloom, published April 30, 2026. The article image shows a crowd of protesters marching downtown with a large white Democratic Socialists of America banner in front and an orange banner behind them. One person holds a bright green “ICE OUT” sign. The caption reads, “Members of Chicago Democratic Socialists of America protest downtown in 2026.”

The fight for immigrant justice is a fight for the very survival of the working class – for our families, our communities, our neighbors, our union siblings, and for those people who haven’t yet won the protection of a union. Read our full statement: dsausa.us/6-10-25ICE-Statement
Statement, DSA National Political Committee. End the Raids, Lift the Ban, Drop the Charges! DSA Stands with Immigrants. On 6/4/25, the Trump administration re-enacted a travel ban preventing nationals from 12 countries from entering the United States. Two days later, ICE began violent, military-style raids in Los Angeles, detaining over 100 Angelenos, including labor leader David Huerta, president of the SEIU California State Council. The fight for immigrant justice is a fight for the very survival of the working class—for our families, our communities, our neighbors, our union siblings, & for those people who haven’t yet won the protection of a union. The ICE raids in Los Angeles are meant as a show of brute fascist strength—but solidarity is a force more powerful than gravity. We call on DSA members to pour into the streets, organize & fight to defend our immigrant communities. We welcome you to join us, as the largest socialist organization in the US, in our struggle for a more dignified & just world for all.
