Join or Donate

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 is turned away for lack of funds. Contact us for more information.

Become a DSA member

To become a DSA member you must pay dues to our national organization. Annual dues are an option, but we encourage everyone who is financially able to become a national monthly sustaining member.

Sustain our local chapter

Local contributions are not mandatory, but we do need them to keep the lights on. They’re used to rent rooms, 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.
