On November 7th, Kshama Sawant’s organization, Socialist Alternative, is helping to set up events across the country to watch a special video message from Kshama and discuss how to go forward in building an organized socialist left to challenge the political rule of the billionaire class. We ask you to join us in building this movement and Socialist Alternative.
RSVP to an event near you!
The Kshama Sawant Re-election campaign has already made a huge impact in rocking the corporate political establishment in Seattle, and it’s making waves across the country. The affordability program we’ve put forward - calling for things like rent control, affordable housing and increasing transit funding - has gained a massive echo not just in Seattle but in cities across the country where working people are being priced out.
 
This is part of a national phenomena that has seen the massive growth of support for candidates that run on a pro-worker program and are entirely funding by working people, not corporations. Similarly, the growing openness to the ideas of socialism as a way to fight back against the interests of the billionaire class are being shown in both the campaigns of Kshama Sawant and the momentum behind Bernie Sanders.
 
However, both of these have also shown that the establishment is organized in their own interests against the 99%. In order to fight this, we have to have an organized socialist movement. Kshama Sawant’s success has been precisely because she is part of this movement and has behind her an organized force that has been able to beat back the corporate onslaught and win important victories for working people. But before she ran for office, she helped build an organization that made it possible to score these victories, she joined Socialist Alternative.
