Our Organization

YDSA at UVA is a socialist organization. We’re a chapter of the youth section of the Democratic Socialists of America, a 100,000 person organization that fight to build a world without racism, patriarchy, imperialism, or capitalism. We have over 100 members and are one of the largest YDSA chapters in the country. We have regular meetings, political education, and campaigns.  Right now, we have an ongoing on-grounds housing campaign.
