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!

    Race the 215 Bus
    Santa Fe Depot, San Diego, CA 92101, USA

    RSVP HERE

    Join our race against the Rapid 215 Bus by bike! The 215 is the highest ridership bus line in San Diego and it is so slow that a bike is faster. Let’s show the city that our most important bus is too slow, and that can be sped up by finishing the dedicated bus lane, turning on the bus priority signals, and implementing all door boarding. We will also have members riding the 215 for anyone not comfortable riding a bike.

    Our route will start at Santa Fe Depot and we will follow the entire 215 route to its end at SDSU. We’ll race against the bus scheduled to leave at 4:30. The race should take about 55 minutes by bike.

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.
