Democratic Socialists of America
Wilmington DSA is a chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America organizing in the Cape Fear area. Our members are residents of Wilmington, North Carolina who believe that socialist policies can transform our city, our state, and our country into one that is built for, instead of just by, working people.
We fight for socialism because we believe that everyone deserves a democratic economy and government. We seek to transform our society in ways that meet the needs of all people, instead of just creating profits for the wealthy few.
