Our Mission

HVDSA is a politically heterogeneous organization with various political tendencies and varying levels of political experience. Because we live in the beating heart of world capitalism, our own radical tradition is hidden from us. Political Education Committee seeks to develop the chapter's understanding of socialism, the nature of capitalism in the United States, why the working class is a critical agent of change, the need for workers’ organizations, examples of working class struggles and radical history, and the necessity of centering struggles against racism and other forms of oppression. Through political education, we strive to create shared political perspectives and language in order to effect social change.

What We Do

• We aim to translate all chapter materials and resources to the languages most commonly spoken by members
• Create literature and start campaigns promoting the use of public services like food, housing, and utility assistance, public health insurance and other emergency relief funds
• Push for an end to banning books in the Washtenaw County Jail.
