JOIN DSA

DSA is a member-led organization.  Please join DSA (with rates beginning at $30/year) to submit to and present at conferences, and to join or start a Working Group.  You do not need to be a DSA member to submit to any of our publications.  Run for the Board or join a Standing Commitee (membership required).  There are many important ways for your voices to be heard and for you to influence the direction of the organization.  But we are a small nonprofit with one employee, and your member-led leadership is invaluable.
