We are the official and NPC recognized Democratic Socialists of America National Antifascist Working Group (DSA AFWG). We are the main conduit for fighting the far right in the DSA at a national and local level.

Fascism exists as a specific political tendency that needs to be countered, while the far right is a broader political layer that intersects with many of DSA’s existing working groups and campaigns. The DSA AFWG seeks to work in coalition with existing groups in DSA, especially the Afrosocialist and Socialist of Color Caucus and Immigrant Rights Working Groups to fight the far right in their attempt to brutalize BIPOC communities. The recent surge of anti-Asian, anti-trans and misogynist anti-choice violence is another area of organizing for antifascist work within the DSA.
