We believe that DSA must lead. We also know that in order to lead, we must organize the working class to win. Only a DSA that prioritizes pushing for real, unapologetically socialist change can build the power of the mass party. We must demonstrate socialist leadership. Deferring to nonprofit/NGO groups, spokespeople, or elected officials - even our own - is not the path forward to build a socialist city. To build towards a socialist city led by a mass party in 2026, DSA-LA must double down on recruitment, expand bottom-up democracy for our members, and build independent working-class power through direct confrontation with establishment Democrats and right-wing conservatism. Socialists must lead!

Our slate is excited to bring DSA-LA to the next level in this pivotal year! In so many ways, we are beginning to act like a real political party in Los Angeles.
