Mission
Our mission as YDSA is to educate and organize students and young people and to play a helpful and principled role in the movement for social justice both on the Canisius campus and in the local community, engaging in activities that embody our college’s Jesuit ideal of being men and women with and for others. Within and throughout this struggle, we will articulate and defend the idea that true human liberation is impossible under capitalism. We seek social change which extends democracy into all aspects of life -- social, political, and economic. This is the struggle for democratic socialism. Our vision of socialism is profoundly democratic, feminist, and anti-racist.
