2023 PDSA Convention Delegate Nomination List

- Hello Comrades! My name is Wallace and I’m a member of the revolutionary Marxist caucus Reform and Revolution, and the Organize for Power coalition. I recently completed a term as an at-large member of the Steering Committee. Before that, I was the External Organizing Co-chair. I got my start organizing as the chair of the Portland State University YDSA chapter, and the youth organizer for our chapter’s Bernie campaign. I’ve been a member of Portland DSA since 2018. I am running to be a delegate to the national convention to advance organizational democracy, electoral independence, and anti-imperialism. I believe that our current national leadership has failed to offer the political leadership the socialist movement needs. But despite these problems, DSA remains the strongest socialist force in generations, and the best hope for left wing ideas in America. Our organization can lead the fight for trans rights and abortion access, join the growing labor movement, and provide leadership for the working class. To get there, I think DSA needs to pass resolutions expanding our national leadership, empowering our NPC, holding our elected officials accountable, and outlining a clear opposition to imperialism. If selected as a delegate, these issues will be my highest priority.
Organize for Power Slate
The Organize for Power Slate from a Google Doc shared on Twitter:[4]
- My name is Wallace Milner and I’m a YDSA member in my junior year at Portland State, a Rank and File member of UFCW 555, and I’m also a member of the revolutionary Marxist caucus Reform and Revolution. For the last year, I’ve been the External Organizing co-chair on the steering Committee. In that time, I’ve been very proud to support labor organizing, YDSA chapters, and protest movements against war and imperialism. I’ve been a member of Portland DSA since 2018, and am proud to have participated in major projects and campaigns across our city. In 2019, I moved to the PSU campus with the school of restarting our YDSA chapter, one I accomplished despite the severe problems created by organizing during Covid.
- I am running for the at-large position because I believe our chapter needs to focus on principled mass action work, with a goal of growing organized labor and the international anti-imperialist movement. My priorities for DSA for 2022 are to organize Starbucks, lay the groundwork for socialist electoral success in Portland, and orient to the wider working class and protest movement in order to expand DSA and build an independent socialist movement.
