Hi. My name is Allison. I like physics, ponies, smashing fascism, playing guitar, and making the better world I know is possible a reality.

Logging into Twitter for the first time in months to say “That’s my girlfriend!!!”

🌠 Red Star's NPC Candidate Roundtable has dropped! Hear directly from the candidates about our vision for DSA: open.spotify.com/episode/2VDzCe…

Hey 2025 DSA Convention Delegates, I’d love to talk to you about why I think I should be your #1 rank for cochair, and you should rank Red Star highly regardless! My free time is kind of oddball and inconvenient but I’d love to try to make it work! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Highly recommend B&R NPC member Kristin’s reflection on her time in GDC, plus a lot of good context from some other RS members:
 “I can say without a doubt the previous iteration was hostile to new ideas, hostile to members, and undemocratic.” discussion.dsausa.org/t/socialist-ma…

After a relatively positive and mature campaign for the 2023 convention, it’s disappointing that SMC has decided that just attacking Red Star is the path forward. I gotta say that work related to GDC has been maybe the most bizarre and sect-like stuff I’ve dealt with in DSA

Let members cook! 🧑‍🍳👩‍🍳👨‍🍳 Join Red Star's NPC candidates Megan R. and Adithya P., on Monday 7/21 @ 9-11pm ET to discuss assorted excerpts by Lenin and talk about how to develop the working class into socialist organizers in this session of Red Start.

Also made the switch to income based dues to DSA ✅ 1% to national @DemSocialists 1% to my local chapter: @nycDSA It takes all of us 💪🏼🌹

Zohran Mamdani delivers message to Pop Crave followers amid today’s mayoral election in NYC.

Read more in NPC member John Lewis’ (@A_CommonName) article for @DemLeftMag, first published in 2023: dsausa.org/blog/juneteent…

If you would like to hear more from John Lewis, come to Red Start on Monday 6/23 to join him in talking about political organizers, political orgs, and the SNCC!

With At-Large elections open now, Red Star would like to put forward our candidates for the At-Large delegate elections. Help Red Star get to convention by ranking these candidates at the top of your list!

In "Race, Class, and Empire", Red Star members Christina and Evelyn use J. Sakai’s “Settlers” to understand how DSA members’ position as both wage-earners and beneficiaries of empire complicates the organization’s orientation towards reformism: redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-race-c…

In ”Build the Foundation to Raise the Roof”, Joseph H. lays out the contradictions within DSA that we must confront as we develop a revolutionary organization. Read the latest from Zenith here: redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-build-…

Red Star is excited to announce the latest issue of our journal, Zenith. Pieces will be released this week. Read the introduction here: redstarcaucus.org/zenith-v4/

Matt M. and Matt N. also reflect on Red Star’s experience with R.P. Dutt’s “Fascism and Social Revolution” and what it can teach us about the current moment of fascist advance: redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-studyi…

Re-examining Hal Draper’s concept of a political Center, Matt M and Sean T consider the political dynamics of political groupings in DSA as ‘factions’ and ‘tendencies’: redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-factio…

To conclude Zenith Volume 4, Sam H-L writes on how US socialists and those in DSA must take a broad, non-sectarian approach towards understanding socialist projects, building solidarity through education and people-to-people diplomacy. redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-intern…

Victoria B expands upon Red Star's Points of Unity in her essay on Vanguardism. DSA’s intelligentsia-heavy composition must anchor itself in the battles of the exploited to both transform its own character and draw the base into revolutionary struggle. redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-vangua…

Max M and Rose K look at staff- and member-driven organizing models from across the left and consider how to reorient DSA in order to develop protagonistic member-leaders: redstarcaucus.org/zenith4-staff-…
