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

Democrats’ Sellouts of Labor Open Door for GOP: Teamster President’s Shameful Speech at RNC [55:14 | JUL 18 24 | On Strike!] (youtu.be)

The ongoing chaos of the US political system was heightened on Monday by the spectacle of Teamster President Sean O’Brien speaking at the Republican National Convention – the first Teamster President ever to do so – demonstrating the dramatic extent to which Biden and the Democrats have lost authority through their sellouts of working people. For decades, top labor leaders like O’Brien have provided cover for the Democrats’ betrayals, while pumping hundreds of millions of union workers’ money into Democratic Party campaigns. Now, O’Brien is sucking up to Trump and Republicans in a desperate attempt to escape the Democrats’ sinking ship, to which other labor leaders have already tied themselves.

O’Brien’s speech at the RNC is a shameful maneuver that hides the stark reality for working people: neither party is on our side, and we need a new party of our own.

Watch a working-class analysis of O’Brien’s RNC speech from On Strike co-hosts Kshama Sawant and Emily McArthur, and a discussion about a fighting strategy for the labor movement that you won’t find anywhere else.
