OUR CANDIDATES

Left Coast is a group of DSA-LA organizers dedicated to winning transformative, socialist change for our fellow working class Angelenos. We are a highly diverse slate of workers, union members, and community leaders engaged in a broad range of organizing activities within and outside of DSA.

Collectively, we have:

  • Won successful union drives and contract fights in the biggest unions in Los Angeles

  • Advocated for an arms embargo and struck for Palestine solidarity

  • Secured housing protections for tenants

  • Stood in solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters

  • Elected socialists to office within and outside the city of Los Angeles.
