Here's NWA DSA's recap of the convention this year and what our chapter supported that passed!
2025 Nation Convention Recap The 2025 DSA National Convention took place in Chicago, August 8-10th. NWA DSA sent two members to represent our chapter and participate in the democratic process. The results of the convention solidified our commitment to strengthening ties to the labor movement, democratizing DSA at the national level, reaffirming solidarity with Palestine, and unifying behind a more cohesive antifascist strategy. While the final votes did not always align with our chapter’s goals, there were many wins. The convention demonstrated that positive democratic change in an organization with many, sometimes disparate positions is possible. Some resolutions and bylaws changes that NWA DSA supported at the convention: R02 - No AI Images! DSA will no longer be using generative AI to produce imagery for any DSA purposes. R05 - Fight Fascism, Build Socialism Turns our ad hoc Trump response into a focused national campaign, with resources and a clear mission needed to fight the right. R26 - Fight Fascist State Repression & ICE Establishes a national 'Abolish ICE' campaign, local abolitionist organizing, and strengthening organizational security. R30 & R30-A01 - Fighting Back in the Class War: Preparing for May Day 2028 Lays out a political vision and tasks for DSA to orient around in the leadup to May Day 2028. R36 - A Unified Democratic Socialist Strategy for Palestine Solidarity Cohesive DSA strategy for strengthening solidarity with the Palestinian people while building a stronger organization and a stronger movement.
