We are a local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and we’re excited to have you with us! This page is a quick-start guide to help you get plugged in.
Become a member of DSA National
Your first step is to become a member of National DSA, a nationwide network of volunteers fighting for democratic socialism. We encourage you to choose a monthly contribution amount, which shares a portion of your dues with your local chapter. Click here for more information on dues sharing between local and national DSA. There are just two requirements to be a member of SV DSA – National membership and living in Silicon Valley! When you become a member you get:
- Voting rights in your local chapter
- A subscription to Democratic Left magazine
- A Socialist Organizer membership card
- Access to trainings and helpful resources

Fund Your Local Chapter
These contributions help us fund events, campaigns, and organizing right here in our community! Local dues or one-time contributions are entirely optional and go directly to Silicon Valley DSA… they aren’t shared with national DSA. Just a heads-up: local contributions don’t give you voting rights. You still need to be a national DSA member (that was Step 1!).
To cancel a recurring donation, you can email treasurer@siliconvalleydsa.org.
