What makes Kshama Sawant different is she understands that in order to win victories for working people you have to confront capital: “Under capitalism we didn’t make it a class struggle, it is a class struggle because the capitalist class and their politicians fight to the bitter end for...

Our campaign is proud to be endorsed by Chris Hedges! Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, author, and host of the online broadcast The Chris Hedges Report. In his endorsement, Hedges says: "I’ve admired and supported the revolutionary socialist Kshama Sawant since she was first elected in 2013 to the Seattle City Council. Her fierce commitment to the working class, her steadfast defiance of the billionaires who destroyed our democracy, and her anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist credentials have long made her a special target. "The billionaire class has pumped millions of dollars into campaigns to defeat her and orchestrated a recall vote in 2021, which she fought and won. "Her current campaign for Congress is part of our grassroots struggle to wrest power from the hands of the global ruling class. It is a campaign for free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich. It is a campaign to raise the minimum wage to at least $25 an hour. It is a campaign to block landlords from extorting massive rents and evicting families. It is a campaign to drive politicians like Adam Smith, a tool of big business who is funded by and subservient to the Israel lobby, from Congress. "In an age when we stand on the cusp of fascism, we cannot rely on the Democratic Party, whose betrayal of the working class and subservience to the rich gave us Trump. "We need a political earthquake. We need a revolution. But it won’t happen until we stand with revolutionaries like Kshama."

My opponent, pro-genocide Democrat Rep. Adam Smith, has spent 29 years as a general for the billionaires and warmongers. His billionaire and health insurance industry donors have full confidence that he won't allow Medicare for All to go forward. So it is beyond shameful that Pramila Jayapal, a leading so-called progressive Democrat, has allowed Smith to sign onto her Medicare for All bill. Rep. Pramila Jayapal is actively helping him whitewash his bloodsoaked, corporate record, in the face of the serious challenge posed by my record of relentlessly fighting and winning for working people. As Calvin said at my campaign’s recent Free Healthcare For All Town Hall, this whitewashing is no easy feat, but it is exactly how the Democratic Party tries to close ranks to block our working-class challenge. This is the real role of the gatekeepers like Jayapal, AOC, and the other Democratic Party politicians: to put the brakes on the kind of working-class movements it would take to win any of the progressive demands these Democrats claim to support. We need a fighting strategy. This means building a powerful movement independent of the Democratic Party and independent of the labor, left, and NGO leaders who are also tied to the Democratic Party. We need leadership that understands that we need to defeat the gatekeepers in order to defeat the billionaires. This is what we did time and time again during my decade as the lone socialist on the Seattle City Council. Our clarity on the role of the gatekeepers was crucial for achieving our unmatched working-class victories, like the historic Amazon Tax and the nation’s highest minimum wage. If we defeat Adam Smith and send the first revolutionary socialist to Congress, this would be a political earthquake. This would give us a national platform to build mass movements and shatter the impasse in the fight for what working people need, like free healthcare for all, paid for by taxing the rich. Our experience in Seattle shows that when we fight, we can win — but we will need thousands of donors and volunteers to join our working-class campaign. Sign up today at

The reason that the Democratic Party politicians have completely failed to fight against Trump is that they also represent the same agenda of Wall Street and war. Local politicians are no different, because they represent the same party and the same agenda. There are no Republicans on the Seattle City Council. During my decade as the lone independent socialist in City Hall, this meant that it was the Democratic Party politicians who opposed our movements every step of the way to protect the interests of big business and the corporate landlords. By using my office to build working-class movements, my fellow revolutionary socialists and I were able to defeat big business and their political servants in the Democratic Party time and time again. We overcame their opposition and won historic victories like the nation’s highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax, landmark renters’ rights, and important protections for immigrants and peaceful protestors. Many of our victories began with one lone vote in favor — mine — and eight opposed. Yet with a fighting strategy, including class struggle tactics like our public comment actions, our socialist leadership decisively shifted the balance of power in City Hall and delivered huge gains for the working class. We need that same fighting strategy nationally to defeat Trump’s and the Democrats’ attacks on immigrants and peaceful protestors, to end the genocide in Gaza, and to go on the offensive for national rent control and free healthcare for all paid for by taxing the rich. That is why I am running to become the first revolutionary socialist elected to U.S. Congress. If elected, I have pledged to turn my inauguration into a rally of 10,000 people in Washington, D.C., to launch mass movements to end US military aid to Israel, win free healthcare, and shut down ICE. We have a fighting chance at defeating 29-year warmongering Democratic Congressman Adam Smith, who voted to create ICE and is a faithful servant of U.S. imperialism. We have a chance to turn politics upside down in Washington D.C. and launch national mass movements. But we need you to get involved to help build a powerful national movement.

The Epstein Class waves the American flag to send our kids to die for their profits. We reclaim it to fight for our future and bring back the revolutionary spirit of our country. On the very day the Administration launched strikes on Iran, martyring the Ayatollah and bringing the world one step closer to World War 3, we gathered at the TX Capitol for a demonstration in solidarity with anti-imperialist forces worldwide and against the Epstein Class. The timing was no coincidence. It was a stark reminder that the war machine and the pedophile network are run by the same Western ruling class. The Texas chapter of the ACP made it clear: The American Working Class refuses to be the cannon fodder for the Epstein Class. Our message was clear: 🇺🇸 We are reclaiming the American flag from the occupiers. It must become the flag of the American working class, the rallying cry for socialist patriotism, and it must be given that meaning through sacrifice & a return to the American Revolutionary Spirit. We take responsibility for our country and say this flag cannot remain the banner of Zionist imperialists and financial gangsters. 🌍 We stand in solidarity with all anti-imperialist forces, from Iran, to Russia, to China, to North Korea. Their struggle against the capitalist elite, the imperialist elite, the globalist financiers, is our struggle here in America. ✊ We are building a United Front against the Epstein Class. They have pitted us against our brothers overseas and against each other long enough. Check out the recap from our International Solidarity Rally. Join the front. Join ACP at
