‘Cosplaying As Extras In Succession’: DSA Reportedly Shelling Out $22,000 A Month For Two New Luxury Offices
The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is trading its worn-down headquarters for two upscale offices that will run $22,000 a month.
The socialist group is abandoning its Lower East Side base in favor of new spaces in Midtown and Bed-Stuy, according to the New York Post. Co-chair Grace Mausser laid out the plan for members at a recent meeting while walking them through the chapter’s budget.
The Manhattan location sits inside a 14-story building on West 35th Street and comes with a doorman, round-the-clock security and a furnished rooftop, the Post reported. That office alone will cost $15,000 monthly, making it the chapter’s biggest recurring bill behind leadership pay.
The timing lands weeks after the chapter agreed to start cutting six-figure paychecks to its top two officers. Members approved annual salaries of $95,000 plus benefits for Mausser and co-chair Gustavo Gordillo, who had both served as unpaid volunteers, according to City & State New York. The Citywide Leadership Committee cleared the resolution by a 51-10 vote. Those salaries and benefits will total roughly $20,000 a month against monthly revenue of about $84,700.

The chapter routinely attacks landlords, yet its new Manhattan home belongs to the Chetrit family, one of the city’s largest developers, which has drawn class-action complaints from Brooklyn tenants over alleged violations of rent-stabilization rules, according to the Post.
“Nothing says ‘we hate capitalism’ like sitting in a high-rise Midtown boardroom cosplaying as extras in Succession,” former NYC Council minority leader Joe Borelli told the Post.
The Brooklyn addition gives the group its first outpost in the borough at another $7,000 a month. The two-story Bed-Stuy space carries central air and what its listing calls the feel of a high-end artist loft. DSA leadership set a goal of raising $20,000 in monthly donations to renovate and sustain offices across the city, according to the organization’s fundraising page. The chapter later lifted its overall target to $100,000 and has pulled in more than $68,000 so far, according to the Post.
The upgrade replaces a cramped Jefferson Street room with red-painted walls that cost $5,200 a month. The chapter scrapped a meeting there last week over a leak.
