DSA makes room for a variety of strategic approaches to fighting capitalism. Whether you're repairing your neighbors' brake lights, organizing a rent strike in your building, or fighting for public control of electric power, one thing is clear: We're stronger together.
"I not only organize with them because they are effective, but because they have helped me become a better organizer. I've fought for certain changes at my workplace and won because of what I've learned from them. Their membership is some of the smartest, most dedicated, and kind people I've ever met in my entire life, and they've taught me so much. Before joining, I didn't have the language to express my politics, and I didn't have a theory of change or theory of power. It was very alienating and frustrating. After years of knowing other DSA members, and organizing with them, I'm able to not only understand the world better, but envision the world that I'd like to help build. They've made me a more capable instrument in fighting capitalism, and that's why I'm here."
