On the afternoon of January 19th, 2017, I went to the Washington D.C. offices of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) where I met with their National Director Maria Svart. This was just a day before the mass demonstrations and riots that would characterize the Inauguration of the 45th President of the United States.

DSA is one of the oldest and one of the few nationally organized socialists organizations so I had to get Maria's opinion on Bernie, the 2016 election and how the revolution continues. As usual there was lots of talk about millenialls and young voters, but more about the need to get out there and proudly serve to community as a socialist.
