We strive to develop and promote the kind of analysis, vision, and strategy that people need to work effectively for radical social change. Among the changes we seek are the elimination of all hierarchies and oppressions, including those based on race, gender, sexuality, ability, age and class.

We also seek to promote both institutional innovation and grassroots popular mobilization in order to advance our goal of an egalitarian post-capitalist participatory economy, and a society founded upon political and economic democracy, and social and environmental justice.

About Us:

At the present time, the DFW-PPS describes its activities in the following way….

The role of the DFW-PPS is to pursue three interrelated projects:

First, to establish a more visible presence for radical politics in DFW, by fostering discussion, dialogue and debate about social analysis and strategies for achieving social change.

Second, to foster the development of more effective radical activism, by organized skill-sharing, through workshops and training sessions, and knowledge-sharing, through continual collective discussion about dilemmas confronting people in their work and ongoing attempts to pool information and share insights.

Third, to serve as a catalyst for establishing new forms of collaboration on the wider left, for example, by organizing campaigns that tie together several different initiatives pursued by many different groups, on the basis that they are all fighting for a city that puts people before profits, and promotes social and environmental justice, as well as political and economic democracy.
