ALT Statement from Pittsburgh DSA: The DSA National Political Committee must commit to Palestine and Upholding National Convention!

ALT The following letter was sent to DSAs national political committee ahead of its meeting tonight: In August 2025, National DSA convened DSA’s highest decision-making body, the biannual National Convention. Pittsburgh DSA elected 12 delegates to represent our hundreds of members and joined with delegates across the country in deciding the direction of DSA.

ALT At convention, hundreds of delegates representing tens of thousands of members voted to adopt Resolution 22 (R22), “For a Fighting Anti-Zionist DSA,” a decision that was shaped by the national reckoning of the genocide in Gaza, the duty of socialists to fight imperialism, and a refusal to sacrifice our principles.

ALT R22 provides a framework for Palestine organizing in DSA, which includes expectations and requirements for candidates to be endorsed by any DSA chapter or National DSA. To ensure candidates meet such standards, chapters are asked to include direct questions scrutinizing the candidates positions on Palestine. Any chapter or candidate that fails to do so are not eligible for endorsements and are in direct violation of a national convention mandate.
