Community for Kshama Sawant and her show, On Strike!, and her organization, Workers Strike Back:

More info about her: https://www.seattle.gov/council/meet-the-council/kshama-sawant/about-kshama

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!: 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

@cmkshama

It's dishonest & nauseating for Kamala Harris to co-opt the working-class "When We Fight, We Win" slogan.

She's backed to the hilt by billionaires, as is Trump.

She's complicit in Biden's broken promise on the $15 wage.

She criminalized poor people for children missing school.

I agree!

As a Seattle City Councilmember, she has kept to her word, and she continues to fight for the working class!

Stupid people can't tell the difference between legitimate grievances for politicians supporting the rights of displaced Palestinians and people who refuse to vote against Trump.

Harris has deficiencies that need to be remedied.

Oh fuck you support Trump you're trying to sabotage democracy wtf is wrong with you!!!!!

I never said I wouldn't vote for her.

When dealing with these people I try to keep in mind that they are probably freaking out at the possibility of a far right dictatorship under Trump. Fear makes people lash out in desperation.
