Reform & Revolution is a revolutionary Marxist caucus of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). We stand for building DSA into a mass socialist party rooted in the struggles of the multiracial working class, and we fight to end economic inequality, racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression, and to overthrow the capitalist state!

Our members are active in chapters across DSA; organizing our fellow workers on the shop floor, spearheading mass campaigns and protest movements, and fighting the capitalist class on all fronts. We aim to help build DSA and its revolutionary left-wing through contributing to theoretical and strategic discussions and simultaneously demonstrating the impact of our politics in struggle. We trace our politics to the Bolshevik Tradition, and aim to dynamically apply the analysis of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, and Luxemburg to the conditions and challenges of the 21st Century.
