Ecosocialism Working Group

Ecosocialism Working Group

Our Ecosocialism working group seeks to address the root of the climate crisis - global systems of capitalism, imperialism, and oppression - that cause and exacerbate ecological crises. We organize locally to implement, expand, and sustain universal public services that meet the needs of our communities while making a meaningful improvement to the health and happiness of people and the planet. We are currently campaigning to expand a sustainable local food system through our Food Sovereignty campaign; to lower San Diegans’ electric bills and rapidly transition away from fossil fuels by replacing SDG&E with a public not-for-profit utility in our Public Power campaign; and to expand the public transit system to decrease pollution and fossil fuel dependence.

We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 PM over Zoom to coordinate campaigns, discuss local environmental issues, and organize upcoming activities, and we also host Community Garden workdays twice a month, which is the perfect event for a DSA newcomer. No prior experience is required to get involved, and members can participate in both organizing and hands-on volunteer work in San Diego. Find these meetings and workdays on our calendar, or join the #ecosoc-general channel the in the chapter Discord to stay in the loop.
