Mizzou Young Democratic Socialists of America
Mizzou Young Democratic Socialists of America is a big tent student organization open to leftists of all kinds at the University of Missouri with a history of educating and organizing students, workers, young people, and members of the community at large to make real and effective changes in our community. We believe that the issues facing students are intertwined with the issues faced by our community and are rooted within capitalism and its failures. Some of our major efforts include hosting the recent March for Trans Youth in Columbia, pushing the University of Missouri to provide Plan B for only $8.88, advocating for the wage of campus dining workers to be raised to $15/hr, and sending students to Jefferson City to speak out against hateful bills in our senate.
