Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
THE NATIONAL POLITICAL COMMITTEE
DSA’s primary political leadership is the National Political Committee (NPC), a twenty-five-person body which functions as the board of directors of DSA and is elected every two years by the delegates to DSA’s National Convention. Every DSA chapter is entitled to send a certain number of delegates to the National Convention, based upon the chapter’s size. There are also “at-large” delegates to represent areas where there are no active chapters.
- requires that no more than half NPC members shall be men, and that at least 20% of the NPC slots be reserved for people of color.
- gives the NPC the power to charter DSA locals and commissions, as well as DSA’s Youth Section.
The NPC:
- guides and leads the implementation of DSA’s major political and organizational goals, which are broadly defined every two years by the delegates to the National Convention
- gives instructions to the national staff about how to carry forward DSA’s day-to-day work.
- creates task forces and committees to guide particular areas of DSA’s political work.
- conducts long weekend meetings four times each year.
- elects five of its members to serve on the Steering Committee (SC). The SC can be emailed at sc(at)dsausa.org. Once the new NPC elects the SC, its members’ names will be marked with an asterisk in the list below.
National Political Committee Members, 2025-2027
The 2025-2027 National Political Committee was just elected at our Convention in Chicago. Delegates also voted to increase the number of NPC members from 16 to 25.
