Democratic Socialists of America
Triples Membership Since Trump
Membership in the
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has tripled since Donald Trump’s election in November to over
19,000 paying members, a report from the Los Angeles Times reveals.
The group, founded in
1982, is now the largest socialist organization in the United States and recently published a “Resistance Rising” strategy to
combat the Trump administration.
“On November 8, voters in
the United States narrowly elected an openly racist, misogynist and nativist
candidate for president,” the organization’s website reads. “We must understand
‘Trumpism’ as a cross-class white nativist alliance; the median family income
of the 62 percent of white voters who supported Trump was higher than that of
Hillary Clinton voters and wealthier than Bernie Sanders’ primary base.”
Recently, the group organized protests outside Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s
election party, calling on the new mayor to fight Donald Trump’s deportation
plans. DSA also organized a march supporting the International
Women’s Day strike.
