Join or Donate

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.

Becoming a DSA Member

If you’d like to become a member, please join through the national DSA membership page. Once you have paid dues (both annual and monthly options are available), you will receive a confirmation email from the national organization. Then, please forward that to info@dsalb.org to let us know.

If you’d like to become a DSA member but cannot afford any of the dues options, dues waivers are available upon request.

Sustaining our local chapter

Local contributions are not mandatory 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.
