LSC’s 2025 Resolution Signature Recommendations
Two months ago, LSC published our initial slate of resolutions for the 2025 DSA National Convention and attempted to articulate what we hope will be a productive, decisive orientation to the pre-convention process. Our caucus has been delighted by the vibrant member engagement with the resolution submission process, and we believe, given the large number of resolutions that have been submitted since our prior statement, that it would be helpful to aligned DSA members for us to list other proposals we recommend signing.
Currently, LSC recommends the following amendments for signatures:
LSC Amendments
In the interest of good faith debate, LSC members have authored or coauthored amendments to some resolutions which the caucus could not support as written, or which we felt could otherwise be improved. We urge DSA members to sign both our amendments and their base resolutions:
Rural Organizing Under the GDC
The Party is DSA
Democratic Socialists and the Labor Movement Need Each Other
Signature Recommendations
We asked DSA members to consider signing the following resolutio LSC did not officially endorse and did not necessarily support all of these resolutions as written, but we believed that they meaningfully addressed important issues facing DSA and thus merited consideration by Convention. This list was also not an exhaustive list of all proposals LSC may have supported.
