No matter where you live in the United States, you can join us in building the nation’s strongest independent, pro-worker campaign, defeat pro-genocide Democrat Adam Smith, and send Kshama to the U.S. Congress! 

Working and young people in cities across the nation are already involved in this campaign, from Peoria, Illinois, to Rochester, Minnesota, to Durham, North Carolina. Kshama’s campaign has reported that more than 1,500 people from all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico have already donated and volunteered.

The Democratic and Republican parties, the Zionist Lobby, and the billionaire class will go all out to prevent Kshama and working people from winning this election. 

The historic success of Kshama Sawant’s Socialist City Council Office shows that it IS possible to beat the billionaire class! Kshama won all four of her City Council elections, including defeating an attempt to recall her by big business, rich Trump supporters, corporate landlords, and the Democratic Party.  She left the City Council undefeated. Working people from across the nation supported her campaigns! She defeated the right-wing recall with the support of 12,000 donors and 1,500 volunteers.

During Kshama’s decade in office, she built movements of working people to win the nation’s highest minimum wage of any major city (now $20.76), the Amazon Tax to fund hundreds of millions of dollars annually for affordable housing, the second and strongest ceasefire resolution in the country, free abortion for anyone who needs it, and a Renters Bill of Rights that has been a lifeline for working-class and poor families.  

This winning strategy, which was used in Seattle, is being taken to the national stage through this congressional campaign. Workers Strike Back members across the country are tabling and petitioning in their cities, joining national phone banks, and flying out to Seattle to canvas and build this campaign in Washington’s 9th Congressional District. 

Kshama is committed to using this same strategy if she is elected to Congress, and that means building movements of working people, rather than trying to make friends with Democrats, Republicans, or lobbyists. She will accept only the average worker’s wage, and donate the rest to workers’ and social justice movements, as she did in Seattle. 

Most of the time, working people have no representation under capitalism. If Kshama wins this election, she will be the first revolutionary socialist ever elected to the U.S. Congress. It would be a political earthquake. Like she did in Seattle, she will fight unambiguously for working-class people to win historic victories. By showing a powerful example of what’s possible through independent working-class politics, we can win real victories and help prepare the ground for a new party for working people, one that is based on our needs, not the greed of the billionaires.
