We Are DSA San Diego

DSA San Diego is a chapter of the largest socialist organization in the United States. Our members are organizers, workers, students, and community members committed to winning real change — through direct action, electoral politics, and grassroots coalition-building.

San Diego is one of the most unique cities in California, but it doesn’t have to remain that way. As democratic socialists, we are building working class power to challenge the dominance of the ultra wealthy and the powerful in the county. Together, we focus to transform San Diego into a place where working people have the power in our democracy on every level of government to ensure that everyone can live a dignified life.

If you want to build a better world, join us!

Priority Campaigns

PRIORITY CAMPAIGN

People Over Papers Priority

DSA San Diego is launching the “People Over Papers” campaign to combat federal immigration enforcement through political pressure, community patrols, and workplace organizing, viewing these efforts as a defense against white supremacist policies. The campaign will prioritize member safety through trained, methodical participation in these high-risk activities.

PRIORITY CAMPAIGN

Elections Priority

We are prioritizing the 2026 elections as a key opportunity to build socialist power, adopting an affordability-focused agenda modeled on successful campaigns from other major chapters. The chapter will coordinate this effort through its Electoral Working Group, involving all branches and working groups in activities like candidate support, union outreach, and membership recruitment, with the ultimate goal of establishing a “Socialists in Office” program.
