Our Work
DSA Fort Worth members are organizing across Tarrant County. Our chapter’s campaigns and initiatives fight for lasting change in our communities and work to build working-class power.
Campaigns
Campaigns are chapter-wide efforts meant to achieve a specific political or organizing goal. They give members and community supporters a way to transform shared concerns into collective power through research, political education, canvassing, public pressure, coalition work, and direct action.
Our campaigns address immediate conditions while building the relationships, skills, and organizational power needed to fight for a more democratic and socialist future.
Data centers are expanding across Fort Worth, consuming our water and energy while polluting our environment. DSA Fort Worth is organizing residents to push Fort Worth City Council to adopt a moratorium on new data center developments.
Tenants across Tarrant County are facing rising housing costs, unsafe living conditions, and unresponsive property management. DSA Fort Worth is organizing to build united tenant power across Tarrant County so that working-class people can transform their neighborhoods and communities.
Working Groups
Our Working Groups are organized around ongoing political issues such as housing, immigrant justice, and electoral power. Working groups provide a lasting home where members can study an issue, develop strategy, and propose campaigns.
The Housing Working Group organizes alongside Tarrant Tenants United and local tenant associations to help build a powerful, fighting, and socialist-oriented tenant movement in Tarrant County.
The Abolish ICE Working Group organizes around immigrant rights, detention and deportation, surveillance, political repression, and the broader systems that criminalize immigrant communities.
The Electoral Working Group organizes to build an independent socialist political bloc in local and state government that represents people over profit and advances economic justice, anti-imperialism, and democracy for all.
The Labor Working Group works with labor unions, organizes to create new unions, and supports striking workers. We seek to strengthen labor in Tarrant County by merging the militant & socialist currents within the labor movement to build working class power.
Committees
Campaigns and working groups depend on strong internal infrastructure. DSA Fort Worth’s committees provide the communications, education, technology, membership development, and administrative support needed to sustain our organizing.
Committees are open to members who want to contribute their skills, learn something new, and help build an organization capable of winning a better world.
The Communications and Design Committee shapes how DSA Fort Worth communicates with members, supporters, and the broader public.
The Growth and Development Committee helps recruit, onboard, and develop members in the chapter. The committee develops the chapter’s recruitment, onboarding, retention, mentorship, community outreach, and fundraising strategies.
The Political Education Committee creates accessible opportunities for members to study socialist history, theory, and strategy. By developing members as both teachers and learners, the committee helps build the shared knowledge needed to understand local conditions, evaluate strategy, and connect the chapter’s campaigns to a broader socialist vision.
The Technology and Information Security Committee maintains the digital tools and infrastructure that support DSA Fort Worth’s organizing. The committee manages systems used for chapter communications, websites, membership information, data management, and internal collaboration while promoting strong privacy, security, accessibility, and maintenance practices.
