Socialist Alternative is a national organization in political solidarity with revolutionary socialists around the world fighting in our workplaces, communities, and schools against the exploitation and injustices working people face every day under the global capitalist system. We don’t just talk—we organize and fight to change the world. We build protests and walkouts. We help organize unions and strikes. We fight for the program contained in our newspaper Socialist Alternative, written by our own members, who are workers and students. Every week, we have branch meetings in cities across the country where we analyze events from a Marxist perspective and discuss our work. We led struggles that won a series of victories for working people in Seattle, where Socialist Alternative held a seat on the City Council from 2013-2023. This included the country’s first $15/hr minimum wage, landmark renters’ rights and a tax on Amazon to fund affordable social housing. Now, our members are helping to lead fights of Amazon workers and USPS letter carriers to win a $30/hr starting wage. We believe the Republicans and Democrats are both parties of big business. We are campaigning to build a new, independent anti-war party of workers and young people to fight for the interests of the millions, not the millionaires. Trumpism, poverty, discrimination and oppression, war, and environmental destruction are symptoms—capitalism is the disease. We need an international struggle against this failed system. We’re fighting for a socialist society, which means a democratically-planned economy based on the common interests of working and young people and the planet. Join Socialist Alternative today!
