Lakefront DSA

08/20/2026

This last July, the Democratic Socialists of America crossed 120k members. We're happy to share that our own Lakefront chapter has just reached over 50 official members, and over the last year, we've made connections with hundreds of community members. We look forward to continuing to grow socialism here in Lake County, and would love for you to be a part of it! Be on the lookout for our 100 member post coming soon... 👀 🌹

We're also happy to announce our new child watch program for our general meetings because working families are a vital part of our future. Reach out for more details.

See you there! 🌹

Recently, Mother Jones conducted a months long investigation into Vista Medical Center and the death of Chelsea Adolphus. Here is what they uncovered about Vista's corporate owners and what led to this situation.

Thank you to Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek for leading the charge on this issue.

Join us and organizations from across Lake County as we come together to demand justice for Lorenzo, Johan and every other person murdered or kidnapped by ICE.

We must build a world where we do not have to worry that a parent, spouse or neighbor might not come home from work one day. The only way to do so is to and prosecute those responsible for terrorizing our communities.
