Get involved in the Boston DSA priorities that build our local socialist movement and strengthen our chapter. Sign up today, and an organizer will get in touch with you.

The Direct Action, De-escalation, and Security (DADS) Committee provides security resources for DSA, maintains protest logistics infrastructure, and resists the far right in Boston. The right have recently attempted local publicity stunts such as the Patriot Front March, disrupting Drag Queen Story Hours, and an unsuccessful attempt to disrupt the Boston Anarchist Bookfair. With the Community Defense priority we will model community defense that shows solidarity with the community that doesn't involve arms or tactical gear. We want to be able to train our own people, as well as other organizations, in skills ranging from first aid, to digital privacy, action logistics, and more.

Boston DSA has made impressive gains in our electoral work. But opportunities to better leverage the power we have, build durable institutional structures to take advantage of future gains, maintain mutual accountability with our DSA electeds and avoid political conflict or unmet expectations remain. This priority will consolidate our power through expanding and promoting Socialists in Office (SiO) committees to relate to DSA-endorsed elected officials. SiO committees will be established or expanded under the guidance of the Electoral Working Group in each city in which Boston DSA-endorsed officials have been elected to public office.
