Want to support the future of youth leftist organizing in East Tennessee? Help us send select members of our East Tennessee State University's Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter to the 2026 YDSA Organizing Conference in Chicago! This event takes place from February 20th to February 22.

YDSA's Organizing Conference is an annual event that brings chapters from around the country together for 3 days of political education, organizing training, panels, speakers, and more. YDSA at ETSU is sending its largest group ever to the conference this year--10 members from our steering committee and general body are registered!

But we need your help to get there! With funding for off-campus events at ETSU already depleted, we rely on personal finances and the generosity of our comrades to cover housing and travel. We are fundraising $1,050 for DSA's discounted hotel block and approximately $500 for gas and tolls for 3 cars to drive there.

We greatly appreciate any investment into our members' organizing skills!

In solidarity,

Your comrades from YDSA at ETSU

Send YDSA at ETSU to Winter Conference!
