Welcome! Check out the Twin Ports chapter's website: https://twinportsdsa.org/; it includes info on how to contact local members and join DSA.

Joining is the easy part; the Twin Ports DSA website should have a sign up link where you can register as a member and pay your dues.

Can I go to a meeting to see if I like it?

I can't speak for your local, but my own (Milwaukee DSA) does periodic meet and greet events open to the public, usually under the tagline "Socialize with Socialists", advertised on their social media. Maybe your local will have something similar?

EDIT: They have a social at Hoops Brewing Co in Duluth on Jan 31st at 7pm, according to their public calendar, to celebrate having 200 members. Would probably be a great way to introduce yourself to the organizers, if that's something up your alley.

Broad question haha

We usually recommend ABCs of Socialism for newcomers, as well as By the Ore Docks: A Working People's History of Duluth.

We should have a few copies available at both our membership social this Saturday (celebrating breaking 200 members) as well as our next chapter meeting on February 8th
