Watch our interview with Jill Stein from May, on the ground at the campus antiwar protests: https://youtu.be/NXSZUtt4kYE

  • The antiwar movement has gained renewed momentum, with dozens of university campuses across the nation seeing mass encampments and protests against the Israeli state’s genocidal war on Gaza.

On Strike provides news & analysis from a working-class perspective, putting forward a strategy to take on the billionaires and their political servants, and win.

On Strike is a production of Workers Strike Back, which was launched by Kshama Sawant and other working people in 2023 to spread the lessons of her decade as a socialist City Councilmember in Seattle, where she led movements to win historic victories like the first major $15 minimum wage, the Amazon Tax for affordable housing, and landmark renters’ rights like the first-in-the-nation ban on winter evictions. Workers Strike Back is building a movement across the country to fight for things like a $25/hour minimum wage, free healthcare and quality affordable housing for all, an end U.S. military aid to the Israeli war machine, and an end the genocide and occupation in Gaza. We’re organizing to build Jill Stein’s independent, pro-worker, antiwar Presidential campaign & to begin laying the foundation for a new party for working people.

    I would worry more about our AIPAC-bought politicians.

    Russiaphobia aside, this remark is a known smear by duopoly voters.

    Thanks for sharing your continued disdain, though!

      russophobia isn’t a thing, and something being a “known smear” doesn’t make it untrue

        Russophobia is a thing; it has been for a while, similar to our war-monger politicians views on China.

        Good that you know it is a smear, but I disagree on it being true.

        I suggest looking into the investigation our government did on Dr. Jill Stein and what results were found.

        It reminds me of the Uhuru 3 trial that went on in Tampa, Florida.

        “The most important thing is they were unable to convict us of working for anybody except Black people,” Omali Yeshitela, the longtime leader of the Uhuru Movement and its umbrella organization, the African People’s Socialist Party, said afterward on the courthouse steps. “I am willing to be charged and found guilty of working for Black people.”[1]
