About Us
Our mission is to educate and organize students and young people and to play a helpful and principled role in the movement for social justice. Within and throughout this struggle, we will articulate and defend the idea that true human liberation is impossible under capitalism. We seek social change which extends democracy into all aspects of life -- social, political and economic. This is the struggle for democratic socialism. Our vision of socialism is profoundly democratic, feminist, and anti-racist.
Member Benefits
Members benefit from the community of YDSA, where you are treated as an equal part in the group where your voice matters in our democratic organization. Members get connected to one of the largest leftist organizations in the country, learn about progressive politics, promote left-leaning ideas through community and mutual aid, and get involved with local progressive/leftist advocacy. Some of our members have even been elected to their local public offices!
