Green Jobs
Dominic Frongillo of Cooperative Extension tells Valarie FitzRandolph how reducing fossil fuel use will have great economic benefits. There are many ways to make the initial investment in energy-saving measures, and well-selected ones pay for themselves in saved fuel costs within a few years. We could put a lot of people to work making our homes energy-efficient, but first they will have to be trained for the jobs.

Ithaca DSA
Ithaca DSA members produce a half-hour radio program on
WRFI Community Radio
called
The Inquiring Socialist
. The program airs at 10:00AM on alternate Fridays.
Ithaca DSA has a weekly cable access television program "Ithaca DSA Presents", a half-hour talk show covering local, national and international politics, economics and labor. It airs Tuesdays at 7:00 pm and several more times each week on
Spectrum Cable Channel 13
in Tompkins County; DVDs of the program can be borrowed from the
Alternatives Library
in Anabel Taylor Hall on the Cornell Campus.
We will also be working on making Cornell pay for better and free TCAT, putting socialists in City government, supporting labor unions and affordable housing, and opposing police militarization and jail expansion in this community.
What We Believe
Democratic Socialists
believe that both the economy and society should be run democratically—to meet public needs, not to make profits for a few. To achieve a more just society, many structures of our government and economy must be radically transformed through greater economic and social democracy so that ordinary Americans can participate in the many decisions that affect our lives.
We are dedicated first of all to democracy, and to bringing democracy into the economic sphere. We are not a political party that runs candidates. Rather, we are a political organization that engages in many activities as needed: electoral politics, issue politics, organizing, protest, and education.
