About
Written by Noah DeMello, SoMa Socialist is a pro-worker, democratic socialist blog rooted in the South Orange–Maplewood community of New Jersey. This space exists to challenge inequality, uplift organizing, and hold onto a simple but powerful belief that a better world is possible. One where housing, healthcare, education, and dignity are human rights, not commodities.
Here you’ll find commentary, movement history, local reflections, and a steady commitment to solidarity over cynicism. If you believe ordinary people deserve real power in their lives, you’re in the right place.
