“Shut It Down!” WSB Joins South Side Chicago Movement Against $9-Billion Dystopian War-Profiteering Quantum Computing Project

08 . 24 . 2026

Workers Strike Back, including co-founder and revolutionary socialist leader Kshama Sawant, stand in solidarity with the working-class movement against the quantum computing center being built on the South Side of Chicago. Nationally, seven out of ten people are opposed to the Artificial Intelligence data centers. There is mass anger against the billionaire class and the reasons for the massive expansion of AI and quantum projects: imperialist wars, genocide, ICE terror, and mass surveillance. We need a coordinated nationwide militant fightback. However, our movements will succeed only if we defeat the Democratic Party as well as the Republicans, both of which represent the billionaires and multimillionaires.

The Strongest Revolutionary Socialist Campaign for Congress in U.S. History

08 . 11 . 2026

Our campaign was by far the strongest ever by an openly Marxist candidate for the U.S. Congress. We won a historic 17.3 percent of the vote in a five-way race, in Washington’s sprawling Ninth Congressional District. Nearly 24,500 people voted for a Marxist in the district, which spans suburban areas with a significant proportion of Republican voters in addition to large parts of the major urban areas of Seattle and Bellevue. This is an incredible result! We need to use this to continue building movements that confront the Democratic and Republican parties, both of which represent the war-profiteering billionaires and multimillionaires.

Kshama Sawant Endorses Andre Easton and Justin Filip for Congress

07 . 23 . 2026

I am proud to endorse my fellow independent candidates Andre Easton, and Justin Filip, who are also running for Congress this year.  Like my campaign, both candidates are clearly opposing the apartheid state of Israel, campaigning to end the genocide in Gaza, and calling for an end to all military aid to Israel. Both are calling for universal public healthcare and taxes on the rich.  Most importantly, they are running independent of the two most powerful parties of global capitalism: the warmongering billionaire-backed Democratic and Republican parties.

Fight for Trans Rights and Safety for all LGBTQ+ People

05 . 27 . 2026

I stand in solidarity with the family and friends of University of Washington student Juniper Blessing. While the killer’s motivations remain unclear, this horrific act of violence is still another reminder of the dangerous reality facing LGBTQ+ people everywhere, even in a supposed sanctuary city like Seattle. It needs to serve as a call to action to renewedly fight for justice for all our trans and queer siblings.

Ten Lessons from the Decade of Kshama Sawant’s Socialist Seattle City Council Office

Long before democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were household names, socialist Kshama Sawant won an openly socialist campaign for the Seattle City Council in 2013. After a decade, Kshama left office with an unparalleled record of victories for the working class, which stands as an important and unique contrast to the failures, betrayals, and broken promises by the Democratic Party, including its so-called progressive wing.
