Oberlin Young Democratic Socialists is part of the youth and student section of the Democratic Socialists of America, and a national organization of recognized campus chapters and activists. YDSA fights for the immediate needs of workers and students while building our capacity to fight for more radical and structural changes.

We work with labor campaigns to organize student workers of staff. We organize to defend immigrants through campaigns for sanctuary campuses. We campaign to divest our schools from fossil fuels. We do anti-poverty work through local mutual aid programs in our communities, and much much more. YDSA fights for democratic socialism through active campaigns to improve the lives of working people.
