Democratic Socialists of America

Join DSA at the YDSA dues rate!

The recommended dues rates for YDSAers are $20 per year or $5 per month!

As a democratic, grassroots organization, DSA is continuing the political revolution for the long term. By paying dues, DSA members self-fund our own tools for liberation. No one is turned away for lack of funds: request a dues waiver here.

YDSA is the youth and student wing of DSA. To join YDSA, join DSA at the YDSA dues rate, then get on the membership list of an official YDSA chapter!

You can find a full list of official YDSA chapters here.

    Payment Information


    Why use my bank? DSA now accepts ACH bank transfers (eCheck)! By electing to use ACH, you’re helping DSA put more money towards building the socialist movement, and less towards high credit card processing fees. In 2019, DSA had to pay over $120,000 to credit card companies to process dues and donations - make the switch to ACH today!

    By clicking "Join now", I authorize Braintree, a service of PayPal, on behalf of Democratic Socialists of America (i) to verify my bank account information using bank information and consumer reports and (ii) to debit my bank account.

    If you can’t pay today, that’s okay. DSA provides dues waivers as recognition of the economic struggles many of our members face every day being exacerbated by the pressures of COVID-19. Visit dsausa.org/dueswaiver to learn more.
