Local Dues ARE DONATIONS

Local dues cover all of our chapter's operations in Philadelphia, primarily our political work, such as campaigns, as well as all the behind-the-scenes costs for facilities, materials, and chapter-wide meetings.

A powerful political organization requires funding, so these funds are crucial to our ability to function as a robust and effective chapter.

Local dues will enable us to continue growing, developing our membership, and contributing to the overall goals of DSA’s movement.

We encourage all chapter members to contribute whatever amount they are comfortably able to, preferably on a monthly recurring basis. However, every penny, at any frequency, counts and is important.

By becoming a dues-paying member, you’re helping to demonstrate that effective mobilization can be achieved democratically, without relying on massive donations or private fundraising.
