Northern Nevada DSA
Northern Nevada Democratic Socialists of America is a chapter of the largest American socialist political organization, the DSA.
Based in Reno-Sparks and Washoe County, the NNDSA operates as a community activist, education and partnership organization within the Northern counties of Nevada.
Although DSA is not a political party, many members do run for legislative and executive offices at all levels of government (e.g. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Cori Bush, Representatives from New York and Missouri).
NNDSA is closely tied with the Young Democratic Socialists of Reno, the YDSA chapter of the University of Nevada, Reno. Further, community partners include Hampton House Garden Project, Soil Solidarity, and Nevada Housing Justice Alliance.
What We Fight For
NNDSA is strongly supportive of a laundry list of important socioeconomic needs, including:
- Publicly funded housing and food solutions for individuals without homes or food security
- Labor rights and living wages
- Prison and policing reforms, funds reallocation, increased oversight
- Justice for discriminated parties and minority demographics
- Public education
- Environmental justice
