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!:

On Strike provides news & analysis from a working-class perspective, putting forward a strategy to take on the billionaires and their political servants, and win.

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

Rescind Biden: How Workers Are Organizing Against the Warmonger-in-Chief [50:37 | JUN 07 24 | On Strike!]

The U.S. Presidential election is now less than 5 months away. Working people continue to struggle, as the world falls deeper into crisis and war. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza continues, funded off the backs of American workers, even as a majority of Americans oppose the slaughter.

Meanwhile, the political establishment and media have presented working people with a rotten false choice: Warmonger-In-Chief Joe Biden or right-wing billionaire Donald Trump. We need to reject both Biden AND Trump, who offer nothing but more war and suffering. The billionaires have two parties, we need one of our own. And we need to build an independent movement that can end this war on Gaza and win real gains for working people. We need mass protests at the Democratic National Convention this August in Chicago to demand an end to the slaughter and of all U.S. funding of the Israeli war machine. Workers Strike Back is helping build that movement.

We also need to demand that unions rescind their endorsement of Joe Biden, who is no friend to unions or workers. Instead working people should support Jill Stein, the strongest independent left, antiwar candidate.

On Strike speaks with union educator Joe S about his and other workers’ recent efforts to pass a resolution in the Washington Education Association to rescind the union’s endorsement of Biden, and how we can fight to build a new party for working people.
