🌹 It's officially the 6th anniversary of the DSOV and we're gonna celebrate with food and discussion.

One question that comes up at all our events is, “How can I get involved in a campaign.” This month will be the first in a series of planning sessions to help identify issues that are important to our members and form working groups around them.

Join us for a BBQ and Planning Session June 28 (Sunday) at Trout Lake 2:00 pm.

2026 May Day Social Justice Information Fair has been held in Grandview Park in Vancouver for over a decade. The fair is an open invitation to a broad range of social justice groups to come down, set up an information table and talk to the community.

Building a free and just society starts with people coming together face-to-face — neighbours meeting, sharing ideas, building relationships, and taking control of political life at the local level. Real change comes when ordinary people organize, educate, and support each other. Every conversation strengthens the foundation for a society based on democracy, solidarity, and collective power.

Saturday, May 2, 2026
2:00 - 4:00 pm

ELECTION NIGHT PARTY - You are cordially invited to Vancouver’s Zohran Mamdani Victory Party Tuesday, November 4th 6:30pm - 10pm at The Pleasant 2434 Main Street (at Broadway)

The fight for more affordable cities knows no borders, and so the Democratic Socialists of Vancouver cordially invite you to watch the results of the New York City election.

The election of a democratic socialist as Mayor of any major city anywhere is an occasion worth celebrating. Join us as we raise a glass to this historic campaign and look ahead to next year’s municipal election in Vancouver.
