DSA is funded by our membership — not corporate foundations or private companies. This ensures that DSA members are in full democratic and political control of our organization. Through national dues and local contributions, DSA members self-fund our own tools for liberation. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Contact us for more information.
Become a DSA Member
To start, please join through the national DSA membership page by clicking below.
Once you have paid dues (either the annual and monthly option), you will receive a confirmation email from the national organization. If you’d like to become a DSA member but cannot afford any of the dues options, dues waivers are available upon request.
After you’ve signed up, check our calendar for the next DSA 101 to start getting involved.
Help sustain our local chapter
Local contributions are not mandatory for members but we do need them to keep the lights on. They are used for renting rooms, printing materials, and other logistical needs. One-time donations are always appreciated, but regular monthly contributions allow us to build a more stable and sustainable organization. Your contributions help make sure that our organization is accountable to its membership alone.
If you are donating to a particular Long Beach DSA initiative, please include it in the donation memo.
