Template:TOCnestleft DSA Should Build a Movement to Defend Abortion Rights was launched October 2021 by Socialist Alternative and Democratic Socialists of America members and dual members.


We, the signatories to this letter, call on the national and chapter leaderships of DSA and YDSA to: --Immediately launch a campaign to defend the right to abortion in all 50 states, and to extend reproductive rights. --Put major resources, including financial resources, into building such a campaign. --Urgently build “Defend Roe” Working Groups in every chapter. These working groups could serve as organizing centers of the movement, and a national structure to coordinate their work should be initiated. --Organize a national day of action with powerful protests across the country in the run up to the Supreme Court hearing the Dobbs case on December 1. --Call on DSA members who are elected representatives, including members of congress like AOC, to actively build for this national day of action. --DSA members who are also union members should build this campaign in their unions. --Put forward a socialist program of reproductive rights including: Medicare-for-All with full reproductive services including abortion with no restrictions, fully-paid parental leave, free high quality childcare, massive building program to increase the supply of affordable housing, and more.
