We need to build a powerful movement to end all U.S. military aid to Israel, end the genocide, win free healthcare for all by taxing the rich, stop the deportations & shut down the detention centers, and win rent control.

We need a fighting strategy to reverse Trumpโ€™s $1 trillion assault on Medicaid and go on the OFFENSIVE to win free healthcare for all by taxing the rich.

Trump and the Republicans are implementing vicious cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and other social programs. The Democratic Party has not only failed to fight back; they are carrying out their own anti-worker budget cuts in cities and states around the country.

We need working people nationally to join Kshama and build the nationโ€™s strongest election campaign to end the genocide in Gaza, to stop the deportations and shut down the detention centers, and to fight for free healthcare funded by taxing the rich and national rent control.

Kshama has a decade-long track record of using her Seattle City Council position to build movements and win the nation's highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax, and unprecedented renters' rights.

Kshama Sawant is running an anti-genocide pro-worker campaign for the U.S. Congress. She is running as an independent socialist against warmongering Democrat Adam Smith, who has funded the genocide to the hilt.

There is a historic opening to win independent campaigns as a step towards building a new party for the American working class.

Despite the anger at Trump and the Republicans, the Democrats manage to be even more hated. The Democrats are fully complicit in the genocide and mass starvation in Gaza, and have failed to fight against Trumpโ€™s brutal budget cuts.

Millions of working and young people in the U.S. are also hungry for an alternative to the Democratic and Republican Parties. The Democratic Partyโ€™s approval rating is at rock-bottom, with 63% of voters having an unfavorable opinion view.

They demand an end to the genocide in Gaza. The party is calling for taxes on the rich to end the privatization of the healthcare system (NHS) and to fund a massive social housing program. The party is also calling for bringing energy, water, rail, and the postal service into public ownership.

We need to run genuine working-class, socialist representatives in election campaigns that are rooted in and accountable to working peopleโ€™s movements. We need a new party for working people. We should draw serious lessons from our experience in Seattle.

and the needs of working and oppressed people are fundamentally irreconcilable. Kshama understood that the political representatives of capitalism โ€” like Democrats and Republicans โ€” are not her โ€œcolleagues.โ€

Kshama and her fellow revolutionary socialists proved themselves the best winners of groundbreaking reforms precisely because their analysis is rooted in the understanding that the interests of the capitalists (the billionaires and multimillionaires)-

A system that is horrific for most of us, no matter how hard we fight, is a system that needs to go. Capitalism needs to be eliminated, root and branch, and replaced by a socialist society.

The capitalist system is fundamentally bankrupt. It is an engine of inequality and misery for the masses, war and genocide, and environmental disaster.

These were components of the fighting strategy she and her fellow socialists used to win historic victories such as the nationโ€™s highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax to raise hundreds of millions of dollars annually for affordable housing, and unprecedented rentersโ€™ rights.

Kshama used her office to build fighting movements and an army of working people that went on the offensive and waged class war back at the wealthy by using her public position to relentlessly expose the rotten nature of the Democratic Party, and the 2 faced politics of individual elected officials.

Kshama's unparalleled record of victories eviscerates the myth that well-meaning progressive leaders have no choice but to come to terms with big business and the Democrats, and settle for marginal gains for working people that pale in comparison to the trillions of $ looted by the billionaires.
