About Us
We work closely with Champaign-Urbana Democratic Socialists of America (CU DSA) to foster political engagement among youth in the Champaign-Urbana area, especially those attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). UIUC YDSA shall organize campus and community rallies, host talks on a variety of political, social and economic topics, engage in community service, and facilitate grassroots organization in support of just and equitable society. Within and throughout this struggle, we will articulate and defend the idea that true human liberation is impossible under capitalism. We seek social change which extends democracy into all aspects of life—social, political and economic. This is the struggle for democratic socialism. Our vision of socialism is profoundly democratic, feminist, and anti‐racist.
