We Are QCDSA

Quad Cities Democratic Socialists of America (QCDSA) is a chapter of Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist political organization in the United States, with tens of thousands of members and chapters in all 50 states. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet the needs of the many, not profits for the few.

Join us!

We are a political and activist organization, not a party; through campus and community-based chapters, DSA members use a variety of tactics, from legislative to direct action, to fight for reforms that empower working people.
