Kshama Sawant | Free Speech, Running for Congress, and the Working Class
Manage episode 511475566 series 3309238
Welcome to another Class Unity event. We are joined today by Kshama Sawant. Kshama is a socialist politician and economist who served on the Seattle City Council from 2014 to 2024. She is now running as an independent for the U.S. House of Representatives in Washington’s 9th congressional district in the 2026 election.
She was a member of Socialist Alternative (and was their only elected official) until January 2023, when she announced she would not seek re-election to the Seattle City Council to promote the “Workers Strike Back” unionization campaign. In 2024, she left Socialist Alternative to form the organization “Revolutionary Workers.”
