This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Agenda Report
Special Video Message from Kshama
Sawant!
Seattle City
Councilmember Kshama Sawant made history first by being open socialist elected
to public office in a major city in decades. Then by helping to lead the
campaign which made Seattle the first city in the US to win a $15 an hour
minimum wage. Kshama has repeatedly taken on the corporate establishment
as advocate for working people and the oppressed on issues ranging from
indigenous rights to the need for rent control now. And she has done all
this outside of the two major
parties and on the wage of an average worker
Kshama's
current re-election battle has implications for workers and the oppressed across
the country as a vindication of independent left politics and the need
to build a strong movement of the 99% against the corporate establishment
outside of the two parties.
Please join Socialist Alternative for
a night of discussion and inspiration as we talk about how we build such a
challenge to corporate politics for the 99% and please donate
generously!
