“Workers Strike Back is an independent movement organizing on the streets and in our workplaces against the billionaires and their political servants.
We stand against the genocidal war on Gaza and for a permanent ceasefire. We're fighting for an end to the brutal occupation and all U.S. military funding for Israel.”
— Kshama Sawant
