Friends,
We have an
unprecedented and historic opportunity
before us to build the progressive and socialist movement.
But these movements won't be built from the sidelines, we need you in the field. We know who's already in the field fighting for
their
interests - the 1% and the right, CEO's and Wall Street, the developers and the landlords - in short the ruling elite.
Socialist Alternative is the tip of the spear of struggle. From launching 15 Now with labor and community allies and building a movement that won a $15/hr minimum wage in Seattle to electing and reelecting Kshama Sawant who has fought unabashedly alongside working people - Socialist Alternative is an organization that has proven itself to be a serious force with the right strategies and tactics to take the fight to the 1%.
Socialist Alternative is doing what few other organizations are - winning!
Because of this we've been flooded with people from all over the country wanting to join our movement. From Utah to Texas to Alabama working people are searching for a way through the morass of capitalism. If 1000 people donate $5/month or $50 we can afford to hire organizers that can go to these states to grow our movement.
Last night Obama talked about the U.S. needing a "better" politics, we would say that's not good enough - we need a
new
politics. One that will put human need before corporate greed. A New Politics for the millions, not the millionaires!
