We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. We're organizing our communities and fighting to win a democratic socialist society.
Healthcare, education and good jobs are human rights. Under capitalism, the bosses, landlords, and politicians hoard wealth, leaving the rest of us with barely enough to survive. Democratic Socialism means working people — not the rich — should be in charge of society! We are fighting to win a world organized and governed by and for the many, not the few.

Curious about how capitalism shapes gender, labor, and everyday life? Want to dig into the roots of gender oppression and how people have organized against it?
Our Marxist Feminist Reading Group is a space to unpack big ideas together, without pressure. We’ll take our time working through texts, paragraph by paragraph, written by key figures such as Clara Zetkin, Angela Davis, Alexandra Kollontai, bell hooks and Silvia Federici.
No prior reading required, just a willingness to engage and think critically alongside others.
This takes place in the same location as and immediately after the Intro to Marxism reading group; feel free to stay for both if you want!

The Left Strategy Reading Group is dedicated to promoting a deeper understanding of modern and contemporary Marxist theory about the state, political strategy, and party organization. This group will discuss Marxist political theory through analyzing important texts from socialist thinkers, writers, organizers, and leaders, centered on works from the 1960s to the present day. We'll start with a series of political essays and Ralph Miliband's book Marxism & Politics.
Communications Workers of America Local 3204 - 279 Logan St SE, Atlanta, GA 30312, USA
Technology, Crypto, and AI companies are racing to build and power data centers as quickly as possible as communities throughout this country push back. Asking many of the same questions being posed across the country, Atlanta and Metro-Atlanta Fulton, DeKalb, and Gwinnett county residents are standing against industry and companies worth billions to help protect their communities. Thankfully there are representatives and leaders in our communities who are standing with us in this fight.
Come hear from these local leaders, including Atlanta Councilmember Kelsea Bond, about how data center construction is threatening our communities; where state, county, and city regulations and legislation currently stand to restrict the building of data centers across the metro-Atlanta region; and how we can all get involved with this fight!

Atlanta City Hall - 55 Trinity Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30303, USA
Atlanta DSA is showing up to tell the city that we need Beltline Rail!
And now that Councilmember Kelsea Bond has introduced legislation stating that the city intends to build the rail, we need your voice to help show that the city stands with them! There is no transit project this decade that will positively impact as many people as the Beltline Streetcar and this is how we make sure it moves forward!
Atlanta Beltline Inc. just presented the full loop and affirmed their plan to put light rail next to the Beltline in the Transit Right of Way! We have an opportunity to move Atlanta forward and we can't do it without you!
Come make your voices heard!
