The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is a political organization in the United States and the country's largest socialist organization. Sitting on the left-wing to far-left of the political spectrum, DSA is a big tent coalition that includes democratic socialists, eco-socialists, revolutionary socialists, and libertarian socialists.[23][24]

DSA formed in 1982 as a merger of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM). Early DSA supported grassroots social movements and progressives in the Democratic Party. DSA was a minor political force until the 2016 presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders, a self-identified democratic socialist, after which its membership swelled from about 6,000 members in 2015 to more than 90,000 in 2021. These young new members shifted DSA to the left, away from its historically social democratic leadership and toward democratic socialist and other socialist ideologies.[24][25][26][27]
