The Pittsburgh Democratic Socialists of America (PGHDSA) is a member chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the history of the United States. We have over 1,000 members across our chapter's turf in Southwestern PA.
A member of Pittsburgh DSA is constituted as a member in good standing with the National DSA who lives within our chapter turf. To become a member, please register with National DSA.
Pittsburgh DSA is member-run and member-led. "What we do" is deliberated and voted on by our members through our chapter's democracy. We are independent and member-funded by the thousands of dues-paying members across the United States, the only ones who can control our organization is ourselves!
Pittsburgh DSA's variety of work includes political education, electing socialists to office, mutual aid with our neighbors, organizing our coworkers and our neighbors into unions, and running strong campaigns against American imperialism. Much of this work is facilitated by our committees. Our chapter also decide its own priorities for organizing.
Join one of our upcoming DSA 101s! This is where you can learn about DSA and connect with your new comrades!
We would like to acknowledge that we organize on the traditional ancestral lands of the Haudenosaunee and primarily the Onödowa’ga:’
We pay our respect to the elders both past and present, who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We recognize and honor them as the past, present, and future caretakers of this land.
This land came under the control of the current settler state, known as the U.S.A., through genocidal military campaigns and an ongoing occupation. with the Treaty 1794 codified the violent dispossession and systematic removal of the Haudenosaunee nation and societies has led to the current situation, in which the Onödowa’ga:’ people reside on a small portion of land ceded to them by the colonial government of the U.S.( within the borders of what we know as the States of Pennsylvania and New York). It should be noted Pennsylvania’s portion lies under water due to Kinzua dam. The Onödowa’ga:’ people fought to stop the project all the way to the steps of the Supreme Court and lost the fight.
Decolonization of Native lands is not a metaphor. Decolonization means land repatriation. It is a project that as socialists we support in order to achieve reparation justice.
