run by and for working people, not the billionaires. We need to fight the rich and bring an end to the billionaire class and their system.

Having elected representatives that take only the average worker's wage (which Kshama has also committed to again) and that use their office as a weapon to organize against the billionaires and their two parties is an essential tool in our fight for a fundamentally different kind of society —

We need a united antiwar movement that uses all tools available to our movements to end the genocide in Gaza and fight for concrete improvements to working people’s lives.

Kshama has committed to using her inauguration as a public protest where she will submit two bills: one for free public healthcare for all, and the other a bill to end all U.S. military funding to Israel.

She is putting forward a fighting program to end the genocide in Gaza and end all U.S. military funding to Israel, to stop all deportations and shut down the detention centers, to fight for free healthcare for all, and for national rent control with a massive expansion of social housing.

The working class needs representation in Congress to fight tooth and nail for all of our movements. Kshama Sawant is running for Congress as a revolutionary socialist against warmongering Democrat Adam Smith.

We need an actual fightback to channel working-class anger into a defeat for the Dem/Rep Parties, both of which represent the warmongering billionaire class. Kshama Sawant’s independent socialist campaign for U.S. Congress against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith is what working class needs.

A CNN poll found that 63% of Americans would favor a third party, and they don't want another party of the billionaires.

The Democratic Party was always a party of the billionaires, but it has now also become a party of genocide.

End the genocide & starvation in Gaza -- no military aid, no occupation! Elect Kshama Sawant to U.S. Congress!

Cantwell voted for billions to fund the genocide, just like Adam Smith. Last month, as hundreds died from mass starvation in Gaza, Cantwell shamefully posed for a photo op with genocidal Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

While Gaza starves, Smith now has the audacity to hold an event called “Taste of the 9th” that encourages people to “come hungry!” Smith is a disgusting warmonger who is responsible for this genocide and for the starvation of babies and children in Gaza.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · Aug 12

Democratic Congressmember Adam Smith has voted repeatedly to fund the genocide in Gaza and to ban funds from the United Nations food distribution in Gaza, directly contributing to the mass starvation.

Workers Strike Back @workersstrikeback.bsky.social · Aug 12

We will peacefully and forcefully protest outside Smith’s event, which should really be called TASTE FOR GENOCIDE, and demand an immediate end to all military aid to Israel and to the brutal occupation. We need to send independent antiwar pro-worker socialist Kshama Sawant to U.S. Congress!
