Our chapter will be electing an interim co-chair to fill a vacancy in our leadership. Kendra is stepping back from her co-chair role in order to focus on her campaign for GA State Representative, and we’re excited to support her in that fight while keeping our chapter leadership strong and accountable.

What this role does

• Political + organizational leadership: Help set chapter priorities, support campaigns, and make sure our work stays rooted in democratic socialist politics in accordance with the will of the Membership Body.
• Meeting facilitation + coordination: Co-chair General Membership Meetings, work with Steering to build agendas, and keep our internal processes transparent and democratic.
• Support for committees + working groups: Stay in regular contact with organizers across the chapter, help troubleshoot, and make sure groups have what they need to win.
• External representation: When needed, represent Savannah DSA in coalitions, media requests, and public events in coordination with the rest of leadership.

Who we especially encourage to run

We strongly encourage Black, Brown, queer, trans, disabled, working-class, and otherwise marginalized comrades to consider running, including folks who haven’t held chapter-wide leadership before. If you care about building power for the many and can commit some time each month, you’re eligible to be in the conversation.

How to nominate

Members can nominate themselves or another member in good standing before or during the January 4th General Membership Meeting. Whoever is elected as co-chair will be the interim co-chair until the Savannah DSA Convention, April 5, 2026.

If you’re curious about the role or want to talk it through before deciding, reach out to Steering or email info@savgadsa.org and someone will connect with you.

Let’s thank Kendra for her leadership and send her into the State House fight with our full solidarity, while making sure our chapter stays strong, democratic, and ready for the struggles ahead.
