WORKING GROUPS
In addition to our geographically-based branches, IE DSA has multiple member-led working groups that focus on specific issues. You can find each working group’s meetings and events on the main chapter calendar.
IE DSA Labor
The Labor Working Group supports workers in the Inland Empire region. Our primary goal is organizing workers across various industries, with a special emphasis on the essential logistics industry, in addition to providing support and guidance to workers who want to organize their workplaces.
Political Education
The Pol-Ed Working Group is responsible for the the educational development of Socialists in our chapter. To that end, we host monthly events, including Book Clubs, Socialist Night School Courses, discussions on current events, and Political Education Events at our General Meetings.
Red Rabbits
The Red Rabbits Working Group focuses on the safety of our chapter’s members and coalition partners. With an emphasis on Digital Information Security, Meeting Security, Protest Security and Medic Training the group works to seek out and coordinate security and safety training opportunities for chapter members.

Socialist Feminists
SocFem formed out of the need to make our community a safe place for women and femmes and the desire to fight for a socialism that is both feminist and intersectional. Focuses of the Group include feminist literature and feminist theory, mutual aid, anticapitalist exchange, and the safeguarding of reproductive rights. In addition, we embrace and celebrate women and femmes, recognizing joy and pleasure as birthrights too often stripped by patriarchal capitalism. Our dedication to living in joyful revolution is practice for the socialist world we will win.
EcoSocialists
This working group seeks to help build local power for climate & environmental justice; advance an ecosocialist perspective in environmental justice movements, the DSA & greater left; promote understanding of climate science as well as the intersections of capitalism, imperialism, systemic oppression & climate crisis; prioritize labor solidarity and class struggle as workers; and build a socialist movement that reflects the needs of the people and limits of our planet.
Socialist Media Team
The Socialist Media Team seeks to use a variety of Social Media Platforms to communicate with the community, produce high quality content and cohere our chapter’s messaging. The SMT works with tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Canva to create bold and informative artwork and other agit-prop content.
