We did it, comrades! We’ve reached our $50k fundraising goal for 2025 and it’s only July!

Thank you to our nearly 100 volunteers for this incredible achievement! With your support, we blew right past our goal and are now setting our sights on a stretch goal of $75k.

What have we accomplished together?

We have reached thousands of fellow members, resulting in 870 donations from 95+ chapters across the country. In the 8 phonebanks we’ve hosted so far, our phonebankers have reached over 1,400 DSA members and our emails have reached thousands more.

Your support this year has put Alex Brower in office in Milwaukee and made the Ithaca Common Council primary sweep with Hannah Shvets and Jorge DeFendini possible! Maryah Lauer also ran a very impressive campaign earlier this year with less than 3% separating her from the primary election winner.

What’s next?

Join the National Electoral Commission for an exciting all-member mass call on July 21st – Lessons from the Zohran Campaign and Next Steps for our Electoral Work. Keep an eye out in your email and on the DSA National calendar for more info!

Three of our endorsed candidates have primaries coming up in August – Denzel McCampbell in Detroit, Michael Westgaard in Renton, and Zev Cook in Tacoma.

We have 7 more phonebanks scheduled now through October to support our candidates in the August primaries and general election!

Help send a socialist to office with your time, money, or both!

On April 1st, 2024, I received notification that a project for which I was a research assistant had been completely defunded. I was fired, and the future of the project remained uncertain. Our funding came from the Center for Connecticut Education Research Collaboration (CCERC) which was established from federal COVID relief funds to address pressing issues in Connecticut’s public schools and provide jobs to Connecticut researchers. Usually, I’d console myself and try to find hope for the future, but it was hard to feel that there was a future for researchers like me, who think people deserve better. Despite this hopelessness, I joined the DSA Education Justice working group: a coalition of educators, librarians, students, parents, and more that seeks to improve public education from a socialist lens. There is power and strength in the unity this working group provides. I found consolation with others who reassured me that they still see the value in research.

My origin story feels like I am a contradiction in terms. Communist and Catholic—really? Looking back, my journey to communism is not one I ever imagined. Growing up in the comfortable white settler community of East Lansing, Michigan, I certainly was not exposed to oppression.
