Frank Llewellyn

Former National Director of the DSA Frank Llwyellyn in December 2009.

Frank Llewellyn is the former National Director of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is the largest U.S. organization advocating democratic socialism.

Llewellyn has criticized the Republican Party's use of the term "socialist" as a negative epithet, particularly since Barack Obama's presidential campaign, and considers the Democratic Party leadership too moderate.[1] Llewellyn has spoken and written to support a social democratic agenda, which includes strengthened unions and single-payer healthcare.[2]

In October 1983, Llewellyn was a New York delegate to the DSA conference in New York City. He was a member of the DSA's Racial-Diversity Task-Force in 1992 and a member of DSA's steering committee in 1994. He was also a member of the DSA's delegation to the 12th and 13th congresses of the Socialist International.

In 2011, Llewellyn was succeeded as national director by Maria Svart.[3]
