Join America’s Largest Socialist Organization
When you become a dues-paying DSA member, you automatically get added to your local Chapter’s membership roll based on your zip code. When you join DSA, you get some cool perks: the quarterly magazine The Democratic Left, an official Socialist Organizer identification card, and the knowledge you’re helping build a socialist future.
DSA is entirely funded by our membership — not corporate foundations or private companies. This ensures that DSA members are in full democratic and political control of our organization. Through national dues and local contributions, DSA members self-fund our own tools for liberation. No one will be turned away for lack of funds–anyone who wants to join but cannot afford to contribute financially should contact DSA here.
Once we get notice that you joined, we will contact you and get you onboarded to our chapter! Members have the right to vote on chapter business, run for local leadership positions, and help steer the direction of the chapter.

Sustain Our Local Chapter
Local contributions are not mandatory, but we do need them to keep the lights on. They’re used to rent our office, print materials, cover logistical needs, provide for working group budgets, and help run our campaigns and communications. One-time donations are always appreciated, but regular monthly contributions allow us to build a more stable and sustainable organization. Local contributions help ensure that our organization remains accountable to its membership alone.
Donations directly to Pittsburgh DSA do NOT make you a member. To do this, please see the section above about joining DSA.
