BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler is joined by Stu Smith, investigative analyst at City Journal, a publication of the Manhattan Institute, to discuss Resolution 26, the DSA’s radical plot to form a mass revolutionary force and uprising against law enforcement.
The document people are referring to as “Resolution 26” is R26: Fight Fascist State Repression & ICE, a resolution submitted to and adopted at the Democratic Socialists of America’s 2025 National Convention.Rocdsa
It is a real DSA convention resolution, not a leaked secret plot. It was submitted by members from chapters including Philadelphia, New York City, Portland, Denver, East Bay, and Connecticut, gathered hundreds of member signatures, and passed on the consent agenda.Docs.google
What it actually does
The resolution frames Trump-era immigration enforcement and political crackdowns as “fascist repression.” Its main directives are:
Make a national Abolish ICE campaign a 2025–2027 organizational priority.
Support local/state campaigns for abolitionist demands (cut police budgets, end cash bail, etc.).
Strengthen internal “security” infrastructure, including the Red Rabbits group (protest marshaling, jail support, community defense training).
The line that generated the “revolutionary uprising” framing is this resolved clause:
The National Abolition Working Group and Red Rabbits will … submit a report … detailing immediately actionable steps that DSA can take on local, regional, and national levels to better prepare the organization for a national uprising against federal agents and police brutality.Docs.google
That sentence is in the adopted text. Critics (New York Post and others) treat it as a plan for an uprising against law enforcement. DSA authors treat it as language about mass protest, rapid response to ICE raids, and “community defense” in the style of 2020 protests and sanctuary organizing.NY Post
Where to read it
The controlling source is the official 2025 DSA Convention Proposals Compendium:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dQO_nuhN-DdlpbvrlaGuFwIbUYIGRRb1T0bNdvLNDwU/mobilebasic
Search that document for “R26: Fight Fascist State Repression & ICE”. Chapter summaries also appear on Springs of Revolution and in convention recaps.Sordsa
Follow-on work after passage included forming an Abolish ICE steering committee and expanding Red Rabbits training (de-escalation, first aid, protest marshaling, self-defense). That is public organizational follow-through, not a hidden annex.City-journal
If you want the exact full “whereas / resolved” text pasted section by section from the compendium, say so and I can pull the remaining clauses. (Links/Grok, 9/29/2026)
