Strike Wave 2022 DSLC Steering Committee Slate

The Strike Wave Slate is a multi-tendency group of rank-and-file union members in DSA with the unifying belief that the working class must be organized and fight back in this political moment.

DSA must become an organization that can grow and support a fighting working class, which means that we must also be in and of the labor movement. Our platform lays out concrete steps that our organization can take right now, and our slate are committed organizers who will be able to carry out these tasks.

Our Platform

The guiding star of our organizing is building rank-and-file worker power. We believe that the following 3 campaigns offer the most feasible avenues for DSA to build material solidarity with the labor movement, connect the socialist movement with labor struggles, and will encourage DSA members to concentrate themselves in strategic industries as rank-and-file organizers.
