I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die.
And there is now a trillionaire.
I’m running as an independent antiwar pro-worker revolutionary socialist for the U.S. Congress.
Rank-and-file union members supporting my campaign will be at the @labornotes convention in Chicago this weekend!
If you are planning to attend Labor Notes, please join us at our Kshama for Congress Labor Meetup!
Saturday, June 13th, at 6:30PM Chicago time.
We will meet in the entry level foyer.

The vast majority of the leadership in the labor movement right now is business unionist. These leaders have made peace with the capitalist system and the political parties of the capitalist class. This has meant that the billionaires and multimillionaires have become unimaginably wealthy from war profiteering and exploiting tens of millions of American and immigrant workers.
We need a reckoning in the labor movement.
To make that happen, we need leaders who base themselves on class struggle methods, which is the opposite of business unionism.
My campaign for Congress is based on such class struggle methods and continues my decade-long unparalleled track record as the socialist on the Seattle City Council. By using my City Council office to build mass movements, I won historic victories like the nation’s highest minimum wage, the Amazon Tax on wealthy corporations, and unprecedented renters’ rights.
I’m fighting
👉for Free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich
👉To End the genocide in Gaza, end all military aid to Israel, and end all weapons and tech for genocide and imperialist war
👉For A public-sector living-wage jobs guarantee, funded by taxing the rich
👉For The right to unionize for all workers
👉For National rent control and a massive expansion of publicly-owned affordable housing
👉To Stop the AI data centers and mass layoffs
👉To Shut down ICE and the detention centers
👉For A $25 an hour federal minimum wage, which should be higher in major cities
This is insanity. The combined wealth of the world's billionaires has tripled over the last 15 years, surging from $4.5 trillion to over $14 trillion. Meanwhile, they've made sure the masses are busy fighting each other to stop us from uniting against their reckless greed.
@CBSNews The street will run red with these monsters blood if they think they taking away what people have worked and paid into all there damn lives. They really have no idea the hell that will be unleashed if that money stops coming every month. Try it, please 🙏🏽
🚨 WOW! Erin Brockovich completely destroys the AI data center narrative. She confirms these massive facilities emit a non-stop, 24/7 deafening noise that is literally driving local residents crazy!
She exposes the total lack of environmental oversight. Pure corruption!
