Red Hot Summer 2026

  • Sign up for Red Hot Summer 2026!

    Learn from the labor movement and get deep organizing training on how to fight and win on campus! Launching June 25th with trainings July 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd (5pm pacific 8pm eastern)!

  • Now more than ever we need organize to WIN. This past year YDSA chapters have taken thousands of workers on strike, won material change for students, stood up to the Trump administration in Minneapolis, and KICKED ICE OFF CAMPUS. 

    This movement has the power to change the world, and we need you to be part of it. Through Red Hot Summer you will learn the organizing skills and strategies you need to organize your campus or workplace. This program is led by student leaders who have successfully organized new unions or impressive class struggle campaigns. These comrades will provide crucial insights and lessons as you begin your own organizing journey!

    Here are a few things you'll be able to do after completing Red Hot Summer:

    • Create an organizing structure that supports itself for the longhaul
    • Identify power and articulate where our leverage comes from
    • Train new leaders in the movement and move people into action
    • Make an effective plan to win that will take you from demand to victory

    Please email ydsa@dsacommittees.org with any questions. Solidarity forever!
