The Flint Hills, Kansas Chapter of Democratic Socialists of America seeks to facilitate the transition to a democratic socialist society where workers collectively own and democratically control the means of production, where economic decisions are made based on human need rather than private profit, and where all people have genuine equality of opportunity and security in meeting their basic needs.
This society will be characterized by workplace democracy, public ownership of key industries, comprehensive social provision of healthcare, education, housing, and transportation, ecological sustainability, and the elimination of oppression based on race, gender, sexuality, nationality, disability and other identities. International solidarity will replace imperialist competition, and participatory democracy will extend from workplaces to communities to all levels of government.
Flint Hills Chapter of DSA was chartered in July 2023. The Chapter was born out of the efforts of two members of waht is now known as Flint Hills Tenants United. The Chapter has steadily grown over the last two years and is expanding its capacity to foster meaningful dialogue, education, and action.
We are guided by our socialist principles in everything we do, from generating ideas, making decisions, organizaing, mobilizing, and taking action. The following Google Drive folder contains the governing documents for the Chapter.
The Flint Hills Chapter of DSA host general body meetings every second Tuesday of each month at 6 pm in the Groesbeck Room at the Manhattan Public Library. These meetings are open to any individual of the public who agrees to adhere to the Chapter bylaws.
Steering committee meetings take place every fourth Tuesday of each month at 6pm and are also held at the Manhattan Public Library. These meetings are only open to members who are in good standing.
Besides these regular meetings, committees and working groups also meet regularly. Chapter General Body Meeting agendas and minutes can be found in our Google Drive.

We value education and believe it is a public good. We hold the belief that knowledge and information should be accessible and readily available to everyone. If you are interested in learning more about socialism, we are building a living repository of free educational resources to help you learn more about socialism and the many ways we can all work toward collective libreration.
