About Our Chapter

We're the Santa Barbara chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to flourish, not just survive, and that ordinary people should have a real say in our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and our future. We all come from different backgrounds, united in solidarity to put people over profits, by pushing for affordable housing and tenant rights, organizing our workplaces, defending our immigrant neighbors from ICE, and fighting for single-payer healthcare (CalCare). We believe in the power of organizing people together around the issues they care about and democratically coming up with a solution. Please join our DSA 101s to learn more or contact us.
