OUR CAMPAIGNS
East Bay DSA is comprised of hundreds of volunteers who work every week, even every day, to build a progressive community in the East Bay. DSA campaign work comes in many forms, including canvassing, calling, posting, and organizing among its members and the greater community.
TOP PRIORITY CAMPAIGN
FIGHTING OLIGARCHY
The fight against Trump’s oligarchy is East Bay DSA’s top priority for the coming year. A central focus of our campaign is solidarity support of the Federal Unionists Network, a large and growing group of self-organized federal workers who play a strategic role in the national struggle, and here in the Bay Area.
Organize federal workers in the East Bay
Connect local and national labor struggles
Build solidarity across unions and communities
PRIORITY CAMPAIGN
DIVEST FROM APARTHEID
Alongside our coalition, we achieved a major victory in 2024 by getting Alameda County to divest $32 million in Caterpillar bonds, and in 2025 adopting an Ethical Investment Policy prohibiting treasury investments in human rights abuses in Palestine and around the world. Join us in continuing this work.
Research local government investments
Organize a coalition with community groups
Pressure elected officials to divest
PEOPLE'S ARMS EMBARGO
Breaking research has uncovered Oakland's hidden and central role in transporting military cargo to the Israeli military. Shipments have been sent from Oakland to Israel multiple times per week, almost every single week this year. Together, we are launching a broad-based coalition to demand an end to Oakland’s participation in genocide.
Knock on neighbors' for housing and city services
Pressure port commissioners to block shipments
Expose military cargo shipments through Oakland
DSA FOR NATE
Working people deserve to run the city, not the Democratic consultants, not the crypto billionaires, and not mega real estate landlords. If you're overpaying on rent, struggling with unreliable buses, or dealing with broken, unsafe streets, you're not alone. We are working to elect Nate Adams to Oakland City Council.
