I reached out to my local DSA chapter in an attempt to learn about the organization, they basically said "go join the national org and pay your dues then get back to us." They also have no means of interaction outside twitter/Facebook pages and an email that gets checked once a month. Is this normal?
As with everything else in DSA, it depends on the branch.
The one I'm involved in shows up to food not bombs, does free fixing of headlights/tail lights, and does outreach at schools and other political events they set up.

This is my experience as well. Do you have any other local orgs?
Nothing within feasible driving distance other than the aforementioned DSA chapter
