We have an opportunity to not just fight back against Trumpism, but to instead fight for something as well. We can organize to transform this country into something new, where society runs for the betterment of all of us- but we have to believe we can take it.

All across the country, DSA chapters are mobilizing to say: we are ready to run AOC for President, we are ready for a socialism to win in 2028, and we are ready to build this organization for the next 100,000 members, and the next, into the millions, until we have a mass party that cannot be denied.

We are proud to share this piece from GWers members including @allthingslabor.bsky.social. GW sees campaigns as vehicles to build the organization- but building does not mean just riding coattails, particularly when it comes to candidates who have refused the responsibility of working alongside us.

That's messaging, field, comms- all of what makes a DSA campaign look and feel different from others. But when we wait to endorse, we let other organizations and groups fill this void, and our campaigns can revert to just following the received wisdom of liberal consultants.
