We are the Southeast Missouri Democratic Socialists of America

DSA is a member-run political organization that fights for democratic control of the economy and society. Our organization fights to bring down the cost of living, shutdown the fascist Trump administration, and build a better Southeast Missouri and world, one that we deserve. To do so, our members across Southeast Missouri are building power in our workplaces, in our neighborhoods and at the ballot box.
