Montgomery County, MD DSA
The Montgomery County, MD branch of Metro DC DSA organizes to build local democracy, fight for tax justice and against austerity, demand rent control and sustainable housing, fight fascism, and build solidarity here and abroad.
Current working groups include rent stabilization, abolition, and Palestine solidarity.
Our past successes have included:
- Organizing voters to vote “Uncommitted” in the 2024 Maryland Democratic primary to send a message for peace and justice in Palestine as part of the Listen to Maryland Coalition.
- Passing rent stabilization in Montgomery County.
- Electing democratic socialists to the Maryland General Assembly and County Government.
- Combating austerity by fighting for a fairer tax code.
- Raising the minimum wage.
- Supporting successful workplace organizing at Strathmore Music Hall, Olney Starbucks, and other sites.
We acknowledge we are on the ancestral lands of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, the rightful past, present, and future inhabitants of this land. We also acknowledge that this county, this state, and this country were built with the stolen labor of enslaved African people.
We hold branch General Body Meetings meetings monthly, usually on the first Sunday of each month. For information about our branch meetings and other branch events, see the Chapter Calendar of Events.
