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.

Video description:

The Democratic Party is in panic over Joe Biden’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump. Even liberal commentators like Rachel Maddow and Van Jones have been unable to spin the debate as anything but a failure, while major publications, including the New York Times, have called on Biden to drop out of the race.

But for working people, it’s not just a question of Biden’s catastrophic performance. The content of the debate was the latest reminder that the Democratic and Republican Parties do not in any way represent working people and have no solutions to the many crises facing us–from climate change to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. Biden and the Democratic Party have backed the war on Gaza to the hilt and their failure to represent working people’s interests have only emboldened Donald Trump and the right wing, who are escalating their attacks on immigrants, trans people, and other oppressed groups.

Young and working people are in urgent need of an alternative to these two anti-worker, pro-capitalist warmongers on offer from the Democratic and Republican Parties.

On Strike is joined by Jill Stein, the independent left, antiwar candidate running for President with the Green Party, to talk about the debate, what her Presidential campaign is fighting for, and how workers can build an alternative to the two capitalist parties.

And JOIN US on JULY 21 @ 2 pm Pacific / 5 pm Eastern for the Inaugural Zoom Conference of Workers Strike Back – featuring Jill Stein, socialist & former Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant, and Nick Cruse of the Revolutionary Blackout Network – to discuss the strategy for the left and antiwar movement to end the genocidal war on Gaza and build a new party for working people.
