The Providence DSA Workers’ Alliance is the home of union members and allies who fight to expand worker power in Rhode Island and beyond.

Our vision is a united working class that chooses to take ownership of all the wealth it produces. Our strategy is to make unions bolder and more democratic. We do this by organizing rank-and-file union members around shared workplace concerns, so that they may demand control of contract negotiations, strikes, and the political decisions made by their unions.

We also work to build union support for Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, and socialist politicians like Bernie Sanders. Among other things, this requires winning the right of union members to vote on which political candidates their unions endorse.

Organized labor is not simply one “issue,” but an encompassing struggle for power. Without a strong labor movement, it will be difficult or impossible for the DSA to achieve many of its goals. We aim to help workers discover their power to build a better society.
