We are the Miami-Dade County Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America
We seek to facilitate the transition to a truly democratic and socialist society. We reject the capitalist economic order based on private profit, alienated labor, gross inequalities of wealth and power, discrimination based on identity, ecological destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo. We envision a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production, economic planning, equitable distribution, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.
Check out our Calendar of Events to see what’s coming up soon. We hold events both online and in-person. If you have any questions regarding Miami DSA activities please contact: [email protected]

- Abolition of poverty
- Housing for all
- Healthcare as a human right
- Free education: from Pre-K to trades, college and beyond
- Democratic control over the environment to preserve the planet
- Complete reproductive freedom in all forms
- An end to all forms of oppression
- An end to punitive justice and mass incarceration
- An end to military and police aggression

Fund the People Miami Website
Every July, Miami-Dade County releases its plan for how to spend our money in our communities for public comment before it is adopted in September. The Proposed Budget, however, runs hundreds of pages long and is no easy read.
Fundthepeoplemiami.com is our attempt to break down this mammoth document. We undertook this work with a group of community organizations in the wake of George Floyd’s death, and it soon became apparent that the disproportionate amount of spending on local law enforcement being decried across the country was also evident in Miami.
In this first iteration of the website, we focus on the discrepancies between our county’s funding for policing and jails versus community services. We hope that as more people join our efforts and new findings are made we can create the most powerful and accessible budget visualization tool our communities deserve.
