Sessions featuring DSA members:
Aging as Socialists: Building Organization Across the Phases of Life
Saturday August 31, 2024 3:00pm – 4:30pm CDT
If we want to win the whole world, our organizing must engage more than just the young, the childless, and the able-bodied. How do we tackle the socialist project intergenerationally and make an organizing space for everyone, one which allows for robust engagement through shifts in circumstances and passage through life phases?

2024 committee
In early 2024, after more than a year and a half of dedicated service, Kristian Hernandez and Beth Huang are stepping down as DSA Growth and Development Committee Co-Chairs. We express our sincere gratitude for their contributions in fostering our organization’s growth.
We welcome Colleen Johnston (Denver) and Shane Katz (Baltimore) as the new Co-Chairs of the DSA GDC. Additionally, we are excited to introduce the new GDC Steering Committee of National Political Committee (NPC) members Alex Pellitteri (NYC), Frances Gill (Los Angeles), Sam Heft-Luthy (San Francisco), and Rashad X (Lakefront), as well as (non-NPC members) Michaela Brangan (River Valley), Sarah Callahan (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky), Beth Huang (Ithaca), Justin Charles (NYC), Alex Finch (Chicago), Kara Hall Zuniga (Las Vegas), Kristian Hernandez (North Texas), and Josh Rusinov (Northern NJ). Together, this team of committed individuals is poised to drive our growth initiatives forward.
The GDC is the primary internal organizing committee for DSA. We develop and implement strategies and programs to grow and sustain DSA, including recruitment and retention drives, surveys, leadership training, chapter mentorship and grants, and more.[4]

🌹Hi NYC DSA friends!! 🌹
I’m so proud to be running on this slate for DSA’s national convention with some amazing comrades from around the city — people who have done amazing work to build DSA and from which I’ve learned so much about what it means to be a socialist organizer. Thanks in part to their guidance and example I’ve been able to help lead some of the amazing work NYU YDSA has been doing in the last year, from canvassing for the New York Health Act to mobilizing for a housing justice march, from registering students to vote (and hopefully convincing them to vote for Bernie!) to hosting incredible panel events on Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. I’m so proud of the work we’ve done, and stoked that my fabulous NYU YDSA comrades Bill Reisman, Oren Schweitzer, Pamela M. Allen, Lilly Walsingham, Nina Svirsky, Kristen Cervero, and Adrian Mikulak are all running to represent NYC and NYU YDSA at the national DSA convention. I hope you’ll consider voting for us, for the Bread and Roses slate, and for Beeba No, Alex Pellitteri, and Sebastian Uchida Chavez from NYC YDSA!
