Democratic Socialists of America - Tarrant County

Building Socialism Across Tarrant County

DSA Fort Worth brings working-class people together to fight for economic justice, strengthen democracy, and create a Tarrant County where everyone can live with dignity.

Who We Are

Building Working-Class Power

DSA Fort Worth is a member-funded, member-driven organization building working-class power across Tarrant County. Our work is shaped and funded by everyday people and not corporations or wealthy donors. Members help decide our priorities, elect chapter leaders, develop campaigns, and carry out the work necessary to win change.

We organize for economic justice by championing housing, healthcare, strong unions, and public institutions that meet people’s needs. Our politics are anti-imperialist because we believe every person, everywhere, has the right to live a free, humane, and dignified life.

We believe people are capable of making the decisions that affect their workplaces, neighborhoods, communities, and government. By organizing together, we can build a more democratic society and economy that works for everyone.
