Chicago DSA members were out 6AM in 6 degrees this morning to support Starbucks workers at the Armitage/Hoyne store who walked out this morning and are now ON STRIKE! Workers will be picketing until noon today and tentatively 6AM-1PM tomorrow and Saturday if you’re able to stop by and join them.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

A union contract is the only way we can stop these systemic problems that have been making Starbucks worse year-after-year. It would only cost the company less than a day's worth of sales to put fair pay, fair scheduling, and strong protections in writing through a contract.

Our strike kitchen feeds striking baristas and lets them know the community supports them in the struggle. Please donate to the CDSA Strike Solidarity fund linked in our bio to help us to buy food and supplies to keep the kitchen going!

Congress just voted to condemn socialism. Here’s why they’re wrong. Black and white photo of seated Congress members. DSA rose logo. For over a century, oppressed and exploited people around the world have carried the banner of socialism in the struggle to free themselves from a system that sees them as nothing more than raw material for a profit-making machine. Today, socialists in the U.S. are leading the fight to democratize our economy and our government, to stop the endless wars at home and abroad, and to ensure that the wealth of the nation belongs to those who create it. Photo: Workers marching behind a hand-made banner reading “We won’t fight another rich man’s war!!” The Senators and members of Congress who oppose those goals have no program of their own to offer other than more suffering to maintain the status quo. Unable to confront the failures of their dead-end politics they fall back on stoking fear of socialism, fueling yet another Red Scare at home, and another Cold War abroad. Americans have seen where that ends: decades of paranoia, censorship, corruption, murder, and war. We won’t fall for it again. Photos of representatives who voted for the resolution. The fight for socialism is the fight for human dignity. It’s only natural that it would be condemned by those who profit from human misery and exploitation. With over 89,000 members across the country and counting, the fight is only getting stronger. Join us. dsausa.org/join

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

DSA will continue to support Democratic Socialists running for office throughout the United States as we build a political movement of and for the working class that can defeat the oligarchy and win the political revolution. Socialists aren't just winning and contesting elections in NYC. This year, we've endorsed 18 DSA candidates from over 11 chapters around the country running for local office. Our National Electoral Commission also launched a national fundraising campaign, Socialist Cash Takes Out Capitalist Trash, to support our nationally endorsed slate of candidates, raising $100,000 in just 7 months. Photo montage of DSA nationally-endorsed candidates.

We look forward to fighting alongside Mayor Mamdani to win a rent freeze, fast and free buses, and universal childcare. We will continue to fight for a free Palestine, to get ICE out of our cities, fight for alternatives to policing that truly keep communities safe, and stand up to Donald Trump’s attacks on our social services.

Our movement won a decisive victory but the real battles are just beginning. The rich and powerful will oppose DSA and Zohran at every turn, and we’ve already seen they will stoop to crass Islamophobia and racism to do so. We will only win this campaign’s demands if we build a mass movement of ordinary, working class people to defeat the corrupt establishment politicians. Photo: a mass of New Yorkers for Zohran marching across a bridge. At the front, Zohran and others hold a banner reading "our time is now."

Zohran wasn’t afraid to say boldly what his voters and the majority of Americans believe: that Palestine should be free, and that the US shouldn’t be complicit in Israel’s genocide. Photo: DSA members including Zohran in front of the White House fence. They hold a banner reading "Biden, you are starving Gaza. Permanent ceasefire now!"

This election proves that Democratic Socialist ideas are popular and that organized people can defeat the power of big money. Screenshots of news articles: Axios. Poll: College students prefer socialism to capitalism. Politico exclusive. Poll: Capitalism is out... and socialism is in. Photo of AOC and Bernie Sanders. Jacobin: Nearly two-thirds of young Americans view socialism favorably, according to a 2025 YouGov/CATO poll. That's up from 51% in 2019.
