Starting a Working Group or Caucus

Any three (3) Members may create a Working Group. Each Working Group must submit its name, specific purposes, and plans to advance the general purposes of the Chapter to the Secretary.

A Caucus will be recognized by the Chapter if no less than five (5) Members sign a mission statement that includes the name and purpose of the Caucus. The Secretary will be responsible for recording such mission statement in Chapter records.

Following are inactive Milwaukee DSA Working Groups and Caucuses which may be restarted under the same criteria as for new groups, stated above.
