Fight
The
Rich
It’s time to declare war on the rich.
We need to build an organized, unified movement of working people to systematically take on the rich who run society and to undermine their ability to rule. Our goal must be to both fight for radical change in the present and to bring down the billionaires and their system, capitalism.
I can tell you from my experience — and it is increasingly evident to working people — that this system is completely irredeemable, as are both U.S. political parties. We have no choice but to fight for radical change and for an end to the billionaire class.

Solidarity with the 3,500 striking Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) workers, whose wages have not gone up in years and are justly demanding substantial wage increases and better healthcare terms. The MTA has forced their workforce to work for three years without a contract and without any wage increase. This is absolutely shameful. Every single worker deserves a dignified, stable and secure life.
Seattle Carpenters Take On Contractors, Confront Sellout Leadership
05 . 13 . 2026
Originally published November 4, 2021 For three weeks in late September and early October, rank and file union carpenters in Seattle were at the sharpest point of class struggle in the American labor movement. After rejecting four tentative agreements where their leadership pushed hard for a “yes” vote, an embattled membership took bold, independent initiative. While the demands of carpenters for $15 per hour increase over a 3 year contract, paid parking, and fully funded benefits went largely unaddressed, through militant rank and file organization and action, carpenters won increases that will add up to over $100,000 dollars over the course of their careers.
