Boise Democratic Socialists of America

We are the Boise, Idaho chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. We organize for the rights of the disenfranchised majority in our community, both at home and abroad. We are building a democratic organization and socialist presence in our community, finding common interests with other organizations, independent of capitalist interests and their political parties. Our strategy acknowledges that an upper class with economic superpower in our society is incompatible with democracy.

Our conception of socialism is a profoundly democratic one. It is rooted in the belief that human beings should be free to develop to their fullest potential, that public policies should be determined not by wealth but by popular participation, and that individual liberties should be carefully safeguarded.
