Our Program

Demanding a democratic, socialist future in the Tar Heel State

A Real Democracy

We believe it is necessary to replace the U.S. political system with a workers’ democracy.

Economic Justice

We believe free and universal education, healthcare, and housing are human rights, and we demand a shift in the balance of economic power away from the capitalist class and in favor of workers.

Racial Justice

Triangle DSA demands comprehensive reparations for the historical injustices faced by Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color. We demand the immediate abolition of ICE and legalization of immigrant communities.

A Decolonial, Plurinational Republic

We demand, in addition to other reparations, the formation of a committee of representatives from Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous nations to direct the internal decolonization of North Carolina and the United States.

Unions For All

We believe that every worker deserves the right to collectively bargain through unions. It was socialists that first built the labor movement, and we believe that it will be socialists that rebuild it.

Bodily Autonomy

We demand the right to have children, to not have children, and for children to be parented in safe and sustainable communities. We demand universal and free reproductive healthcare, including abortion, contraception, pregnancy tests, and fertility support on demand.

LGBTQ+ Liberation

We demand the repeal of the fascist homophobic and transphobic laws enacted by the State Legislature, and we demand the right to seek gender-affirming healthcare.

Action on the Planetary Crisis

Triangle DSA demands the rapid downscaling of the most destructive and wasteful sectors, such as fossil fuels, weapons, and plastics, and massive investment in essential sustainable sectors, which must be placed under public democratic ownership.

Public Safety

We hold that by building a society in which education, universal healthcare, housing, and a dignified quality of life are standard, we will also be creating a far safer society. We reject that a militarized, racist police force will be necessary to ensure public safety,

Anti-Imperialism

We stand in solidarity with the international working class, and in opposition to American imperialism.
