Twin Ports DSA has several working groups that meet regularly and focus on specific issues or projects. To join any of these groups, please email dsa.duluth@gmail.com.

  • A-frame sign sits out on brick plaza. Sign reads Socialist Meal Program with a red logo showing two hands shaking while clasping a fork and knife.

    The Electoral Working Group seeks to educate and engage people in local electoral politics. They support endorsed campaigns, provide trainings, and liaise with endorsed elected officials.

    Over the years, the Ecosocialist working group has worked on housing, mutual aid, and resistance to data center and pipeline development. This group is currently exploring new directions and growing in membership.

    Palestine Solidarity

    Our Palestine Solidarity working group supports and coordinates the efforts of many groups in the Twin Ports supporting Palestine liberation. Documentary screenings, protests, and educational campaigns are all part of this important work.

  • How do we decide which projects, campaigns, events, and working groups will be active? It’s up to members! If you want to re-activate a working group, start a campaign, or form a new group, just start coming to meetings and share your ideas.

Past working groups/campaigns, not currently meeting:

  • banner image for screening of American Hospitals film, including logos of supporting organizations

    Healthcare for All

    We currently have one dedicated member who organizes with Healthcare for All MN. Through this connection, we have been able to promote petitions and news, support projects, and occasionally host events.

  • White cartoon car over green field. White text reads Mutual Aid Tail Light Repair

    Racial Justice & Tail Light Repair

    This group did great work with the creation of Duluth Crisis Response and the Mutual Aid Tail Light Repair project. Learn more about their work at LEAN Duluth, this Duluth News Tribune article, and this accompanying podcast here.

    Housing Justice

    Housing Justice work has been done through our chapter through different groups over time, including the Ecosocialist group as part of their Green New Deal work. Currently we encourage those looking to organize around housing to learn about our comrades at Duluth Tenants.
