Connecticut DSA

Connecticut DSA is a statewide chapter of Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the United States. Our members are organizers – in the streets, workplaces, and neighborhoods –  where we are bringing workers, tenants, and all exploited peoples into class struggle, building power in our movement for democratic socialism.

Our Values

Connecticut is the wealthiest state in the most prosperous country on Earth, and one of the most unequal places in America. Workers and tenants are exploited to produce decadent living standards for capitalists, while basic necessities such as housing and healthcare become more expensive.

We believe that ordinary people can achieve genuine freedom only by building an organized, multiracial, working-class majority capable of confronting the ruling class and developing collective power in the workplace, the community, the state, and the environment we share. Members of the working-class majority include all people who sell their labor to the capitalist class to live—as well as those even more deeply exploited: the unemployed, the undocumented, and the incarcerated.

We recognize that resisting and ultimately dismantling capitalist exploitation and imperialist warfare requires us to draw together all people organizing against intersecting forms of oppression. We demand a radical redistribution of wealth, resources, and power.
