There is a new Democratic Socialist in Congress! Silicon Valley DSA congratulates DSA member Chris Rabb on his election for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District. This victory would not have been possible without the work of thousands of working class people across Philadelphia organizing for a better world. Congressman Rabb will be fighting to abolish ICE, free Palestine and win Medicare for All.

We can defeat Trump and the Democratic establishment when we ORGANIZE; the MANY over the MONEY! If you’re tired of being told that better things are not possible, JOIN US! Together we can build the movement to have our own Chris Rabb, our own Zohran Mamdani, right here in Silicon Valley.
