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

Workers Strike Back is joining the Chicago People's March for Justice on January 20th to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump and his administration's planned attacks on immigrants and working people. Come to Workers Strike Back's monthly meeting on Tuesday January 14th in Chicago to prepare for the protest by registering here: https://workersstrikeback.org/events/jan-chicago
The new warmonger-in-chief has promised to continue the genocide in Palestine and deport millions of working people. Trump is openly collaborating with billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, who have a long anti-union track record.
The Democratic Party itself, under Biden, led the obscene military aid to the Israeli state, broke the railroad workers' strike, and betrayed promises to working people, including the $15/hour minimum wage and canceling student debt.
Working people and union members need to organize independently of the two parties of capitalism. We need mass protests, strike actions, and civil disobedience to end military aid for Israel, the genocide in Gaza, and the brutal occupation, and to win a $25/hour minimum wage, Medicare for All, quality affordable housing, and good union jobs for all. We need a new party for the working class.
