Lead the Social, Economical and Political Change

Everyone knows that change is urgent. Many just don’t know where to start. Our grass-roots movement is made up of people who genuinely care about our city. There is a place for you here to contribute and become an active leader in your neighborhood. That is the beauty of the Municipal Socialist Alliance (MSA), inclusive from the bottom up.

Show me your program -- I can tell your priorities -Torontonians

Establishment-sponsored elections and big business-backed candidates come and go. The the MSA is always active in our local communities. The MSA believes that progressive change does not come from outside or above, but within us and from our actions. In a society where people die on the streets without adequate care, “non-partisan” usually means pro-establishment. See our program to know the difference. MSA program.


Endorsements & Highlights

⚑ As a special guest at a recent Municipal Socialist Alliance meeting, I was very impressed with their vision, energy and commitment, especially amongst younger people who are needed so desperately to keep a community-based advocacy group thriving. I applaud the group’s efforts and will continue to support them in any way that I can! — James Gordon, City Councillor, Guelph


⚑ While much of the labour leadership will throw their support behind status quo candidates in the upcoming elections, it is clear that business-as-usual municipal politics isn't working for working class people. Enough is enough! Vote for change! Vote Socialist! Vote for the Municipal Socialist Alliance! — Julius Arscott, Ontario Public Service Employees' Union


⚑ MSA is a coalition of socialists, labour unionists, community organizations and social justice activists united to fight for the interests of workers, tenants, women, LGBTQIA2S+ folks, racialized people, seniors and all who seek a city and world without exploitation and oppression. I am proud to show my support for a Labour City Hall, for a Workers’ Government at the municipal level. — Barry Weisleder, NDP Socialist Caucus
