“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
Stand with public school staff fighting budget cuts!
RSVP now to attend Kshama’s Rent Control Town Hall on Sunday, Feb 1. Join us in person at the Kent Memorial Park Building!
During her decade on the Seattle City Council, Kshama built movements to win historic renters’ rights, such as a $10/month cap on late rent fees, six months’ notice of rent increases, economic evictions assistance, and a ban on winter evictions. She mobilized tens of thousands of people to win the historic Amazon Tax, which funds hundreds of millions of dollars annually in affordable housing by taxing big business.
Kshama’s independent campaign for Congress is calling for national rent control and to spread her renters’ rights victories. She is also calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel, to stop the deportations, for free healthcare for all by taxing the rich, for a $25/hour national minimum wage, and for cancelling all student and medical debt.
Both the Democratic and Republican parties are bought out by big real estate developers and the corporate landlords who profit from skyrocketing rent.
We need to elect Kshama as the first-ever revolutionary socialist to the U.S. Congress, to fight back against the corporate landlords and both their parties. We need strong national rent control and a massive expansion of publicly owned, high-quality affordable housing by taxing the rich, as Kshama won in Seattle as part of the Amazon Tax.
Workers Strike Back members are campaigning to end the genocide in Gaza & all U.S. military aid to Israel, to tax the rich to fund free healthcare for all, and for national rent control. We are building the nation’s strongest antiwar, anti-genocide, pro-worker campaign.
Join us by PETITIONING & POSTERING your community using the materials below!
Print some petition sheets, grab a clipboard and some pens, and set up in an area with high foot traffic. Ask people to stop & sign, using slogans like “End the genocide in Gaza!”, “Free Healthcare for All — Tax the Rich”, and “Send an independent socialist to Congress!” For postering using a staple and a tape gun to poster high traffic intersections or outside of businesses is key to building for this rally.
Please send a photo of filled out petitions to solidarity@workersstrikeback.org!
Workers Strike Back members have voted overwhelmingly to back Kshama Sawant’s working-class, antiwar, anti-genocide campaign for U.S. Congress against warmongering Democrat Adam Smith.
Elect the Socialist Money Can’t Buy!
Join us in building the strongest antiwar, anti-genocide campaign in the country!
“I'm running against warmongering Democrat Adam Smith, who has voted to send tens of billions of dollars for the Israeli state's genocide in Gaza. Smith also voted to create ICE.”
