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

Workers Strike Back Inaugural National Zoom Meeting

Zoom Link

Featured Speakers:

Jill Stein, Kshama Sawant, Nick Cruse

As the genocidal war on Gaza enters its tenth month, with shocking new revelations of brutality by Israeli forces, a majority of Americans now oppose the war, with just 36% supporting U.S. military aid to Israel. Major unions like UAW, SEIU, and NEA, along with countless smaller unions collectively representing millions of workers, have passed ceasefire resolutions, and students at nearly every major university have organized courageous protests against the war, facing suspension, expulsion, and police repression.

Yet as the US Presidential election draws closer, both Biden and Trump continue to give the war their unflagging support. With two warmongers being put forward by the two parties of the billionaire class, what is the next step for workers and students looking to end the war and occupation? And how can we build a strong enough antiwar movement to stop the flood of U.S. money fueling the Israeli war machine?

Join Left independent antiwar Presidential candidate Jill Stein, socialist and former Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, and Revolutionary Blackout Network founder Nick Cruse to discuss and vote on a strategy for the movement.

No Biden, No Trump!

How can we end the genocidal war on Gaza?

Speakers:

  1. Nick Cruse, Revolutionary Blackout Network founder
  2. Jill Stein, Left Independent Antiwar Presidential Candidate
  3. Kshama Sawant, Socialist and former Seattle City Councilmember
