The Red River Valley DSA seeks to facilitate the transition to a truly democratic society. We reject an economic order based on private profit and envision a social order based on popular control of resources and production.

Our conception of socialism is a profoundly democratic one. It is rooted in the belief that human beings should be free to develop their fullest potential, that public policies should be determined not by wealth, but by popular participation, and that individual liberties should be carefully safeguarded. It is committed to freedom of speech, to freedom to organize, and to freedom of religion.
