Why I’m Running for U.S. Congress
by Kshama Sawant
Most of the time, working people have no political representation under capitalism. Both the Democrats and Republicans serve the interests of the billionaires, and both are warmongering parties down to their bones.
Just as I used my City Council election campaigns to build momentum for the $15 minimum wage and the Amazon Tax, I will use my Congressional election campaign to help build the antiwar movement and to launch a historic fight for Medicare for All.
Fighting for What We Need!

Antiwar Movement Rallies Around Jill Stein - A report from Workers Strike Back’s working-class antiwar rally at the DNC
On the night of August 20th, while Barack Obama gave remarks on the second night of the DNC, Workers Strike Back hosted a rally at Grace Church in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago around the slogan “Disrupt the DNC.” More than 200 working-class people from across the country gathered in-person, and more than 150,000 tuned in online to discuss a way forward for the antiwar movement and a strategy for the working class heading into November and beyond.
How Can We End the War on Gaza?
◊ End the genocidal war on Gaza, the occupation, and all U.S. military aid to the Israeli state!
◊ Fully fund Medicare for All including gender-affirming care & abortion, and massively invest in high quality affordable housing for working people!
◊ Unions should call for a national one-day strike and walk-out of students and workers and build for a mass nationally coordinated protest against the genocide!
◊ No to Harris and Trump - build for the largest possible vote for Left antiwar pro-worker candidate Jill Stein, as a step towards a new antiwar party for the working class!
Working People, the Antiwar Movement & the 2024 Presidential Election
From the war on Gaza to the deep cost of living crisis facing working people, the stakes of this election could not be higher. Contrary to the mainstream media outlets portraying the choice in this election as between a “Marxist” and a “fascist,” both Harris and Trump are warmongering representatives of the billionaire class.
