Community for Kshama Sawant and her show, On Strike!, and her organization, Workers Strike Back:

More info about her: https://www.seattle.gov/council/meet-the-council/kshama-sawant/about-kshama

Kshama Sawant is not a career politician. She is an activist who brings a passion for social justice to her work as a public servant. As a member of the City Council, Kshama pledges to be a voice for workers, youth, the oppressed and the voiceless. She only accepts the average workers' wage and donates the rest of her six-figure salary to building social justice movements.

About On Strike!: News & analysis to beat the bosses. On Strike is the video broadcast of Workers Strike Back, hosted by Kshama Sawant and Bia Lacombe. We cover issues from the perspective of workers’ needs, not billionaire greed. We provide socialist analysis and strategy to build working-class movements, fight against oppression, and for a new mass party for workers and young people. These same ideas have been used by Kshama in her decade as the only socialist on the Seattle City Council, overcoming big business and Democratic Party opposition to win four elections and victories such as the $15/hour minimum wage and the Amazon Tax. Workers Strike Back is an independent, rank-and-file campaign organizing in our workplaces and on the streets against the bosses and their political servants. Links

After being forced to dump Biden amidst a political meltdown in the Democratic Party, the Democrat establishment has quickly moved to coronate the Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s presumptive Presidential nominee. Nearly every establishment figure from Nancy Pelosi to Jim Clyburn has rallied behind Harris, along with so-called progressives like Bernie and AOC, who have shown once again that they have no strategy for working people and are utterly broken to the party elite.

Harris’ long record as Vice President, as a U.S. Senator, and as a “tough on crime” prosecutor is deeply anti-worker, anti-poor, and anti-Black just like Biden’s. And while Harris has had some outwardly progressive rhetoric, she has been lockstep with Biden in backing the genocidal war on Gaza and the continued U.S. funding for the Israeli state's war machine. She is no alternative for working people.
