My campaign is proud to be endorsed by Alice Walker, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Color Purple,” novelist, short story writer, and activist. “I am proud to support Kshama Sawant’s upcoming Seattle, WA congressional election campaign. Her victory would mark a great advance for all who stand opposed to today’s endless U.S. wars against working people at home and abroad. "Her defense of immigrant workers, her opposition to mass deportations, her fight to abolish ICE, declaring, “No Human Being Is Illegal,” and her opposition to racism, sexism and LGBTQI discrimination are inspiring. "Her method centers on mobilizing working people and their allies among the oppressed in united mass mobilizations to defend their own interests. "Vote Kshama in 2026!”

Workers Strike Back
Workers Strike Back@wrkrsstrikeback·
Illinois Workers Strike Back has been organizing against tech billionaires and their representatives in the Democratic and Republican parties who are pushing for a massive expansion of hyperscale data centers. When plans for a 321-acre hyperscale data center were brought forward in Pekin, Illinois, working people got organized and fought back, and Workers Strike Back was proud to join the fight! Our movement’s victories to date are: 👉We forced Governor Pritzker to put a hold on the tax breaks for new data center developments. 👉We forced the Republican Mayor of Pekin, Mary Burress, to announce in March that the city would not be moving forward with the data center project. 👉We forced Democrats and Republicans on the Pekin City Council to vote unanimously to stop the sale of public land to the data center developer, Western Hospitality Partners. Our movement went up against big tech and real estate billionaires and multimillionaires and also the Democratic and Republican parties, and won! Working people organized City Hall speakouts, yard sign distribution, and canvassing to oppose the project. Workers Strike Back members played a key role in the City Hall speakouts by putting forward a fighting, class-struggle approach. We explained to our fellow workers that we need to create a credible political threat to the establishment politicians who don't respond to moral appeals, but instead can be swayed only by the organized strength of working-class movements. A crucial aspect of this was exposing the real role of the Democrats and Republicans during the speakout at City Hall. This meant rejecting the rules of “decorum” that the establishment imposes on working people to try and render our movements ineffective. This victory is proof that when working people get organized to fight for our demands, we can win. Join Workers Strike Back for our monthly national meeting over Zoom on Sunday May 17th at 12pm PT / 3pm ET to talk about lessons from the struggles that Workers Strike Back members have been engaged in and how you can get active in the fightback against the data center boom and AI layoffs. workersstrikeback.org/events/2026-ma…

Illinois Governor, billionaire Democrat JB Pritzker, and Democratic & Republican politicians recently gave big tech companies & developers tax breaks of $983 million as "incentives" to build at least 27 AI data centers. Representing the billionaire class is bipartisan agenda.
