We are Democratic Socialists,
inclusive of many leftist tendencies.

 
 

We are an official branch of the Philly DSA, located in the Philadelphia suburbs across Bucks and Montgomery Counties. You can also check out Delco DSA for our comrades in Delaware County.

We welcome all people and strive to keep events accessible for disabled members of our community.

 

We host meetings and events every month to plan and pursue our goals:

  • Anti-privatization efforts

  • Medicare For All campaigns

  • Immigration justice

  • Anti-racism & anti-fascism

  • Environmental education

  • Cultural events

In 2022 and beyond

  • Community Gardens

  • Action for Racial Justice

  • LGBTQ+ and Gender Justice

  • Medicare for All

  • Working Class Solidarity

What we’re fighting for

  • Healthcare is a Human Right

    We are resolute in our assertion that health care is a human right; everyone deserves to recieve premium health care, not just have “access” to care. We believe that the profit motive has no place in a just healthcare system.

  • Racial, Immigrant & LGBTQ+ Justice

    We recognize the abysmal history of injustice that America has with minority groups of all kinds; we full-heartedly demand and support efforts (both restitutional and preventative) to correct these crimes.

  • Civic & Workplace Democracy

    We believe that our elections should be as democratic as possible, but also that our workplaces should be as well. This means both taking action to expand voter enfranchisement, and making work owned and operated by its workers—not by a far-removed board of executives.

  • Political Education

    We believe that a critical part of building socialism, is building a strong base of politically well-educated people. Find out how we’re expanding political education in the suburbs!

  • Anti-Imperialism

    We recognize that so much world suffering is caused by Imperialist conquest that seeks to steal the resources and the autonomy of poor and indigenous populations. We stand resolutely against such capitalistic exploits.

  • Ecosocialism

    We believe that the land, water and air must all be publicly owned, and must be protected against capitalist exploitation. Find out how BuxMont is working to ensure & expand such protections!

Committees & Working Groups

  • 💻 Media & Communications

    Our Media/Comms Committee administers our website and social media accounts. Committee members coordinate phonebanks and email bulletins, as well as design graphics for the branch.

    This committee is responsible for crafting our message to the public, and is tasked with responding to press inquires & drafting statements. It is chaired by the Communications Secretary.

  • 😷 Medicare for All

    The Medicare for All Working Group is focused on building a broad coalition of support for universal healthcare in the suburbs, and pressuring our elected officials to endorse such legislation.

    In 2019, we launched a M4A campaign in Norristown, which after months of canvassing and hard work culminated in Council passing a resolution endorsing Medicare for All. Norristown is just the beginning!

  • 🌿 Ecosocialism

    Ecosocialism is the idea that all people deserve to live in a world where their natural environment is safe, stable, and healthy.

    Our working group organizes local clean-up hikes, maintains a community garden and distributes the food to local pantries, seeks to educate the public on municipal solar and wind power, and opposes local privatization of resources.

  • 🗳️ Electoral

    The Electoral Working Group is focused on advancing socialism, and the policy priorities of BuxMont DSA, at the ballot box. This includes vetting and supporting socialist political candidates throughout Bucks and Montgomery counties. Once endorsed, we support our candidates through canvassing, phonebanking, newsletters, and social media posts.

  • 🌹 Political Education

    Our Political Education Working Group meets regularly for organized discussions, reading groups, and movie nights centered on socialist theory.

    The working group also responds in real time to important issues and events in our community, and holds sessions to articulate the socialist alternatives to issues such as charter schools and utility privatization. All are welcome!

  • 🚨 Immigration and Criminal Justice

    The Immigration & Criminal Justice Working Group is committed to empowering communities of color and fighting against local policies that oppress these communities.

    In addition to supporting local protests against police brutality, we will fight to see that police funding is redistributed into the community.
