Our Platform

Movements grow through ruptures that expand the political imagination of the working class, and revolutionary action that puts power in our hands to transform the world. Springs of revolution mark the epochs in working class political consciousness.

Our platform is focused on transforming DSA into a mass revolutionary force that can rise to the moment by advancing anti-imperialist politics, with Palestine as our compass, and fighting state repression through abolitionist organizing and immigrant defense. Our organizing projects engage labor, student, immigrant, and liberation movements in broad coalitions with humility and discipline as we build up the community fabric that we need to break through imperialist repression and deliver working class victories.

What is Springs of Revolution?

We are a cross-tendency network of comrades united around transforming DSA into a revolutionary mass political force. Growing out of several springs of revolution over decades and the 2023 Anti-Zionist Slate, we have served in local and national leadership across DSA, including YDSA, electoral and labor projects, and the International Committee. We have led Palestine solidarity and abolitionist organizing in DSA, including the Gaza solidarity encampments, local and national coalitions, the Uncommitted and No Votes for Genocide campaigns, and BDS campaigns such as No Appetite For Apartheid, Mask Off Maersk, Stop Fueling Genocide; as well as organizing in the 2020 George Floyd uprising, Stop Cop City coalitions, and local campaigns to strip police budgets and fight criminalization. Our roots extend further beyond, to Occupy and the Arab Spring.

We draw inspiration from key revolutionary moments that have broadened our political horizon in recent decades. These ruptures don’t arise from a vacuum; they emerge out of deep, intentional organization to identify, plan, build, and escalate on key working class issues. DSA must become a willing and active partner in moments of mass mobilization and subsequent phases of escalation necessary to develop the political imagination and power of the working class.
