Cornell YDSA employed innovative outreach tactics to reach a highly transient electorate with limited canvassing opportunities. DSA campaigns like Hannah's are designing winning models to reach masses of people, and sets a historic precedent for @ydsa.org.

Sanctuary Campuses for BIPOC Students: A Statement from the YDSA National Coordinating Committee (NCC) Los campus santuarios para estudiantes BIPOC: Una declaración del Comité Nacional de Coordinación (NCC)
On September 15th, Trey Reed was found hanging from a tree on his campus, Delta State University. Black students deserve the safety, dignity, and freedom offered to white students, and we will not rest until all of our Black, Indigenous, and comrades of color are able to live free from oppression. The United States was founded in the interest of white landowners by colonization, racial violence, and genocide— all of which maintain their presence in every facet of our society. 

Our demand for “education for all” is sometimes said so much that it becomes haphazard. More than just economic accessibility, this demand includes a commitment to realize a future where equity is not a utopian fantasy, and our schools are places where we are all able to learn and grow. No one should go to school fearing that they may be kidnapped or killed; this is what it means to fight for sanctuary campuses.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere, and as socialists, our responsibility is to fight tyranny and violence wherever we are. Expressions of solidarity are not enough; we must practice with our actions. 

Look out for your classmates who are targets of right-wing violence, provide community for those who are afraid and grieving, continue to organize for our common future, and be a good comrade. 

Love and solidarity to the Reed family, and to you all.El 15 de septiembre, Trey Reed fue encontrado colgando de un árbol en su campus, la Universidad de Delta State. Estudiantes negros mercen la seguridad, dignidad y libertad ofrecido a los estudiantes blancos, y nostros no descansaremos hasta que nuestros compañeros negros, indigene y todos compañeros de color puedan vivir libres de la opresión. Los Estados Unidos fue fundado con los intereses de propietarios blancos utilizando la colonización, la violencia racial y el genocidio, que todavía mantienen su presencia en cada faceta de nuestra sociedad. 

Nuestra demanda “Educación Para Todos” a veces se repite tan seguido que su impacto de disminuye. Más que solo una necesidad económica, esta demanda incluye el compromiso de realizar un futuro en donde la equidad no sea una fantasía utópica, y que nuestras escuelas y universidades sean lugares en donde todas las personas puedan estudiar y crecer. Nadie debería ir a la escuela con miedo de ser secuestrado o asesinado; ese es el significado de luchar por los campus santuarios. La injusticia en cualquier parte del mundo es una amenaza contra la justicia en todas partes, y como socialistas nuestra responsabilidad es luchar contra la tiranía y violencia dondequiera que estemos. Declaraciones de solidaridad no son suficientes; necesitamos practicar con nuestras acciones. 

Cuida a tus compañeros que puedan ser víctimas de violencia de la extrema derecha, provee comunidad para aquellos que son temerosos y afligidos, sigue organizando por nuestro futuro en común y sé un compañero bueno. 

Amor y solidaridad a la familia Reed y a todos ustedes.

Yesterday, in a vote of 221 to 209, Congress approved a staggering $831.5 billion to the Pentagon. This will be used to fund militarism abroad and Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people, instead of the services and protections that working people desperately need. Our statement:

Statement from DSA's National Political Committee. 3 of 4. Although the Senate has passed the bill, we still have a chance to block it with massive pressure on the House of Representatives. We urge you to sound the alarm with everyone you know about what this Bill intends to do. You can use this script to call the reps listed and demand they vote no: dsausa.us/stop-trumpBBB This greed must not go unchecked. 

People should know why we are losing our healthcare, why masked men are terrorizing our communities, and what we can do about it. And while Trump’s Republican administration is leading the charge on the BBB, they have been helped by the Democratic Party’s unwillingness to fight back against these efforts and helping their efforts by crushing worker power at every turn and voting alongside them. We hope to defeat this bill and all it threatens to do, but the only way to build a fighting alternative is mass, working-class organization and resistance.

Statement from DSA's National Political Committee. DSA Condemns Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and Calls for House to Vote “No”
July 1, 2025. 1 of 4 The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) condemns Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”, and with its recent passage in the Senate 51-50, we urge all people of conscience to call their representatives and make their voices heard.

This bill would be one of the largest cash grabs by the billionaires in world history.

This bill supports massive cuts to Medicaid and will lead to as many as 17 million poor and disabled Americans losing their Medicaid and accessible healthcare cuts to rural hospitals and nursing homes will target our most vulnerable.

Hear from UO YDSA organizers on why you should attend Red Hot Summer & learn to #unionize your workplace 🫵🌹🔥
Seamus UOYDSA and UOSW: Learn the critical skills needed to start a union, fight for your rights in the workplace, and build class consciousness among your coworkers in the Red Hot Summer program. Through trainings like these I was able to learn how to organize my workplace for better wages and harassment protections because when workers are divided we beg, but united we bargain. Take the power back in your workplace through the YLC Red Hot Summer program!Jess UOYDSA and SBWU: Organizing at Starbucks has changed my life. This union will forever be a part of me and I’m so grateful and proud of my union family who inspire me daily. There’s never been a better time to join the labor movement, RHS is a great resource to learn valuable skills and strategies to organize your workplace!Jace UOYDSA and UOSW: I have never felt more powerful than when I was on strike. I hope everyone gets to experience that.

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.
