Ithaca DSA Presents

About this original series

Ithaca DSA Presents is a half-hour talk program covering local, national and international politics, economics and labor produced by Theresa Alt and the Ithaca chapter of Democratic Socialists of America. Ithaca DSA is dedicated first of all to democracy, and to bringing democracy into the economic sphere. We are not a political party that runs candidates. Rather, we are a political organization that engages in many activities as needed: electoral politics, issue politics, organizing, protest, and education. You can find lots of information on our national website. The main project of Ithaca DSA is our weekly community access cable television program "Ithaca DSA Presents". It airs on Channel 13, and tapes can be borrowed from the Alternatives Library in Anabel Taylor Hall on the Cornell Campus.
