It was only active organizing by former slaves that transformed the Lincoln presidency into an army against the Confederacy. We have an opportunity to revolutionize our federal government and finish Reconstruction to end Israeli apartheid.

Running a socialist campaign for AOC will generate opportunities to maximize the impact of our bloc in Congress. We can position our party to attain the highest level of programmatic influence in Congressional committees and the AOC administration post-election day.

An army of organizers – doorknockers, phonebankers, fundraisers, houseparty hosts, and political artists – is the only force that can build the power to dismantle ICE, beat back our government’s attacks on our democratic rights, and enforce our demand for an arms embargo.

We get to choose how we campaign for AOC. We can talk to our friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers about how we can put an end to our money being used to bomb hospitals and schools abroad instead of building and fully funding them here. Full article: t.co/9XG2HLD7bn

We have the opportunity to lead an inspiring campaign for AOC for president, powered by DSA members, that will engage and grow the base for socialist politics. There is currently no other candidate who is running who a majority of DSA members support who supports an arms embargo.

By campaigning for Congressional challengers, we can build our chapters' memberships, fundraising capacity, and base of supporters. Everywhere credible candidates are running on Medicare for All and an arms embargo, DSA members should organize to support them. (📸 BuxMont)

Federal politics has been decisive for past solidarity movements. In 1988 organizers achieved a 219-211 Congressional vote against Contra funding. More recently, arms embargoes in Spain and Belgium were won because movements successfully pressured progressive federal politicians.

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

To fight the far right and face our constitutional crisis head-on we need to advance our politics at the national level. DSA members like @claireforqueens.bsky.social in New York and @oliveralarkin.bsky.social in Florida are running exciting campaigns that can unite our organization.

Dozens of candidates across the country are running for Congress on universal healthcare and ending U.S. military sales to Israel. These socialist positions require federal power to enact and are supported by majorities of the public. carnationprogram.substack.com/p/make-2026-...

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

We can use relational organizing and regular phonebanking of potential DSA members to do recruitment at scale, and refine our organizing tactics to meet our goal of 100,000 DSA members by the end of the year. 5/6

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

We can merge the socialist movement and the labor movement by fighting alongside organized workers and unifying our party behind a short set of widely- and deeply-felt issues, such as those proposed in the Carnation Program. 4/6

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

DSA has a real claim to being the most democratic mass organization in the United States. DSA members all across the country elected over 1200 delegates for our upcoming Convention. Our organization has the energy it takes to run winning campaigns and build power. 3/6

Abdullah organized his workplace with the UAW and helped lead a rent control campaign in Pasadena. He helped to start the Labor for an Arms Embargo campaign, which is working alongside PYM and PI to organize local unions around the demand of an arms embargo.

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

We’ve seen the power of organizing around a program like this with the Zohran campaign in NYC, which has brought thousands of people into organizing to elect a mayor who has pledged to arrest Netanyahu.

131

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

To build our party into this force, Abdullah wants DSA to focus on the winnable majoritarian issues that affect people’s lives on a daily basis: M4A, Bring Down the Cost of Living, End Political Corruption, Unions for All, and End US Militarism.

These local bases of politically-activated organized workers along with their DSA chapters can launch runs for Congress in 2028 to build the power we need at the federal level to end U.S. support for Israel’s apartheid and genocide and to fight climate change.

Community campaigns around cost-of-living issues can improve the lives of union members while developing organizers’ skills and building a base that supports contract campaigns and new organizing drives.

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

By organizing along coworkers and union members on the basis of a minimal program, DSA can shift the conditions in which unions negotiate their contracts and win more workers to socialism. Read here: sites.google.com/view/carnati...

The Zohran campaign shows that championing winnable day-to-day demands that have a consensus among the socialist movement can unlock massive energy and enthusiasm that can organize the working class.

In the '80s, former United Farm Worker organizers launched the Neighbor to Neighbor campaign, a coordinated effort to support candidates who would vote against military aid to the Contras in Nicaragua. This led to a 219-211 vote to cut off military aid. t.co/J41jA5yEQC

Leading to the 2026 elections, local chapters would select one of these five priority campaigns and receive assistance to run these campaigns. DSA will build voter lists and construct fundraising apparatuses while developing DSA member-leaders who could run for Congress in 2028.

Carnation Program @carnationdsa.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

How do we translate local organizing into federal power? We propose cohering local campaigns around a five-point program: Medicare for All, bringing down the cost of living, unions for all, ending political corruption, and ending endless wars.

On the 51st anniversary of the Carnation Revolution, we remember a revolution that ended Portuguese imperialism and defeated authoritarianism at home. The US continues facilitating genocide in Gaza, eroding our civil liberties as union members are abducted for political speech.
