Types of Activity
Location
A national revolutionary socialist organization (Trotskyist) that advocates independent working-class politics – known for electing Kshama Sawant in Seattle and leading campaigns like the $15 minimum wage.
Volunteers in each branch engage in intensive grassroots organizing: rallying and canvassing for local ballot initiatives (rent control, taxes on big businesses), building strike support for workers, selling the Socialist Alternative newspaper to spread ideas, and running their own members or allies for office as tribunes of the movement.
