How to Participate

Milwaukee DSA offers a myriad of ways to participate. We have working groups, committees, caucuses, and coalitions, as well as campaigns. We invite you to find a group or campaign that focuses on topics that you are interested in and reach out to them to get involved! You can find out when meetings are on our calendar. To learn about specific work that the chapter is doing, see the group pages linked below.
