===Democratic Agenda/Socialist Caucus===
:{{See also Congressional Progressive Caucus}}
For groups and organizations seeking [[radical]] social change within the [[Democratic Party]], the National Convention of 1980 had at least one historic first - formation of a [[Socialist Caucus]] of
delegates. Organized by the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee and by the [[Democratic Agenda]] which was DSOC's cadre and supporters within the [[Democratic Party]] and was based in DSOC' s New York office and at 1730 M Street, NW, Washington, DC. Some 31 delegates and alternates from twelve states and Democrats Abroad attended the Socialist Caucus.
As a preliminary to the convention's Socialist Caucus meeting, indeed as a "building event" and as a continued show of support for Senator [[Edward Kennedy]] (D-MA), the Democratic Agenda sponsored
a convention rally at New York's Town Hall. The speakers included [[Herman Badillo]], [[Julian Bond]], Fran Bennick, [[Harry Britt]], [[Cesar Chavez]], Rep. [[John Conyers]] (D-MI}, [[Doug Fraser|Douglas Fraser]], [[Murray Finley]], Michael Harrington, [[Terry Herndon]], [[Ruth Jordan]], [[Ruth Messinger]], [[Eleanor Smeal]], [[Gloria Steinem]] and [[William Winpisinger]].
DSOC works within the [[Democratic Party]], said Harrington, because of the party's relationships with organized workers, blacks, feminists, environmentalists and other "progressive groups."
The [[Socialist Caucus]] circulated a list of convention delegates who were caucus members, including;<ref>''Information Digest'', September 19, 1980, p 333</ref>
