Reform & Revolution is a Marxist caucus of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). In the revolutionary socialist tradition, we fight to end economic inequality, racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression. Our caucus stands for building DSA into a mass socialist party rooted in the struggles of the working class and the oppressed.  Check out our magazine, become a subscriber, or learn more about how to get involved in our caucus.
