Black Socialists in America [a] (BSA) is an American political group that organizes among predominantly poor and working-class Black Americans and thats stated goal is to create a national platform and network for those who identify as Black American Socialists. [4]
Since its foundation, the group has worked on grassroots initiatives with organizations across the country, [5] [6] received national media coverage, [7] and an endorsement from Noam Chomsky. [8]
The group has also hosted a number of public panels and online discussions featuring Black organizers from both the civil rights and Black power eras such as Jamal Joseph [9] and Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, [10] as well as political organizations like Kongreya Star. [11]
Software development
Black Socialists in America raised funds to develop software that has not yet been finalized as of 2023: $25,616.18 for a social organizing platform called the "Dual Power App," $1,738.43 for a democratic meeting application called "Stack," and $10,798.40 for an informational application based upon their own website. [12] The Dual Power App and Stack were designed and developed open source through a spinoff organization, Open Tech Development (OTD), which, as of December 2023, is in hibernation. [13] [14] The projects, which were explored through a public design and development process that utilized feedback from local organizers and followers of the organization, are also suspended indefinitely as of 2023. [15] The Dual Power App X account last tweeted on December 19, 2023. [16]
