📢 **IE DSA Special Meeting: 2028 Presidential Primary**
Join us IN PERSON (preferred) OR VIRTUALLY for a chapter-wide discussion on what we want to see from a potential 2028 presidential campaign and what role DSA should play in it.
We’ll break into small groups to discuss:
- What type of campaign and candidate do we want to see in the 2028 election? What do we want their platform, rhetoric, and branding to look like?
- How should DSA’s communications about a presidential campaign support our current campaigns such as down-ballot electoral races, labor organizing, anti-ICE work or Palestine organizing?
- How can we use communications about a presidential candidate to grow DSA?
- How could a presidential campaign impact a goal of party-building? Should our messaging bolster calls for a new party?
- What are the risks of endorsing a Presidential candidate? What should we do when the candidate takes positions we disagree with?
**This is NOT an endorsement meeting.** We’re gathering member input to help shape IE DSA’s response to DSA National’s 2028 member input process.
Share your perspective, hear from other members, and help shape the conversation around 2028! ✊
