North New Jersey Democratic Socialists of America
Solidarity forever
In New Jersey, history is made by mass movements of working class people. From the Paterson Silk Strike of 1913 to the Newark Rebellion of 1967, to mass mobilizations for justice this decade, North NJ DSA is building on the legacy of working-class organizing from the bottom up. North New Jersey DSA is a chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. We believe that working people should run both the economy and society democratically to meet human needs, not to make profits for a few. We use a variety of tactics, from legislative to direct action, to fight for reforms that empower working people.
Campaigns
Freelizabeth
Elizabeth is a working class town. For 30 years it’s been home to an ICE jail that imprisons our noncitizen neighbors. For 30 years it’s also had some of the strongest rent control laws in the country. Organize to win back the $20 rent cap and build a movement with workers and tenants who call Elizabeth home.
NJ Public Hospital Project
For decades, private operators have treated Christ Hospital as a cash grab winding down lifesaving services, violating union contracts, and attempting to develop the land into luxury housing. Join the campaign to re-open Christ Hospital in Jersey City as a publicly-owned, publicly-run hospital.
Stop the Sale of the Roxbury Warehouse
ICE is back on their bullshit again! After we stopped Majestic Realty from selling a warehouse in Hutchins, TX, Roxbury, NJ officials reported that Dalfen Industrial has completed the sale of another warehouse to DHS for the purpose of caging our immigrant neighbors. However, no public documentation backs up this report, so there might still be time to terminate this sale before it’s too late. Dalfen, which is headquartered in Dallas, TX, claims to be a “responsible member of the community,” but this sale is anything but responsible.
NJ DSA Immigrant Justice
Our statewide working group is building solidarity with the immigrant justice movements in New Jersey. Join us!
