Working people—not the wealthy few—should have the power to run society and the economy to ensure that everyone can live a dignified life.
Our goal is to build working-class power to make real, material change to improve our lives. That means a society where everyone has quality housing, a living wage, good working conditions, free healthcare, and access to education, and a flourishing environment—where democracy is measured by the power people have over the conditions of their daily lives.
That's what democratic socialism looks like, and that's what we're building in Bloomington.

“For the first time in the world’s history a subject class has it in its own power to accomplish its own emancipation without an appeal to brute force.
This is the appeal which socialism makes to the workers of this nation and the world.
It invites them to seize political power in the name of the working class, and to legally write their own economic emancipation proclamation.
Under this invitation the nations of the earth, including our own, are seething with political revolt.
It is the sure precursor of mighty changes—political, social, and economic—throughout the world.”
