Who We Are

We are the Chattanooga chapter of the largest socialist organization in the U.S., the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). We believe a better world is possible and we’re building it right here in Chattanooga.

Our 150+ members are building democracy powered by us, the working class, not the capitalist class. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.

[A] socialist society represents an advance to a higher stage of life—that is, a form of society which is economically, socially, culturally, and ethically superior to a system based upon production for private profit. History shows that the processes of social change have nothing in common with silly notions about “plots” and “conspiracies.” The development of human society—from tribalism to feudalism, to capitalism, to socialism—is brought about by the needs and aspirations of mankind for a better life.

– Paul Robeson

Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States with over 90,000 members nationally. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few.
