Gainesville Socialist Alternative

Gainesville Socialist Alternative The Gainesville branch of Socialist Alternative - a nation-wide organization that fights for working-class people of all types everywhere. city in decades.

Socialist Alternative is the organization that spearheaded the campaign to elect Kshama Sawant to Seattle City Council, the first independent socialist elected in a major U.S. We are a national organization fighting in our workplaces, communities, and campuses against the exploitation and injustices people face every day. We are community activists fighting against budget cuts in public services;

we are activists campaigning for a $15/hour minimum wage and fighting, democratic unions; we are people of all colors speaking out against racism and attacks on immigrants, students organizing against tuition hikes and war, women and men fighting sexism and homophobia. We believe the Republicans and Democrats are both parties of big business, and we are campaigning to build an independent, alternative party of workers and young people to fight for the interests of the millions, not the millionaires. We see the global capitalist system as the root cause of the economic crisis, poverty, discrimination, war, and environmental destruction. As capitalism moves deeper into crisis, a new generation of workers and youth must join together to take the top 500 corporations into public ownership under democratic control to end the ruling elites’ global competition for profits and power. We believe the dictatorships that existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe were perversions of what socialism is really about. We are for democratic socialism where ordinary people will have control over our daily lives. Socialist Alternative is also in political solidarity with the Committee for a Workers’ International, a worldwide socialist organization in 47 countries, on every continent. Join us!

The reversal of abortion rights in the US is a huge attack against working class women and LGBTQ people. We can't have any illusions in the Democratic Party or NGOs to stop this reactionary tide, we need to build a mass movement to win abortion rights back!

(Check back here for a list of protests tonight) Roe v Wade has been overturned. This is a historic defeat for the women’s movement and represents a victory in the right-wing campaign to undermine the bodily autonomy of women and q***r people across the country. Despite overwhelming support fo

Over 1000 people out in Gainesville today to fight for abortion rights. We can’t depend on courts or the Democrats to defend abortion rights, if working class people want to keep our rights, it’s going to take a fighting movement to do so!

We were at the Haile farmers market this morning talking to people about how to fight back against the right wing attacks on q***r & trans youth and reproductive rights. The "Don't Say Gay" bill is headed to the FL Senate floor for a vote, and the FL Senate just passed an abortion ban. Students have been fighting back, and staged a walkout on Thursday. We need a mass movement to defend LGBTQ and all oppressed people, and to win real victories for working people like trans-inclusive Medicare for All, free & legal abortions, and fully funded public schools. And we should make the billionaires pay for all of it!

No to war in Ukraine - Build a Mass Anti-War and Anti-Imperialist Movement!

This war is not in the interest of workers and youth, wherever they live. It’s about geopolitical & economic imperialist ambitions.

If you're in North Florida and work at Starbucks or know someone who works at Starbucks and want to get organized or are in the process of organizing, please reach out! We need to build a movement to win victories for Starbucks workers around the country. Solidarity!

The most important unionization campaign in recent memory is sweeping the country. Workers at more than 65 Starbucks stores in at least 20 states have formed rank-and-file organizing committees and filed for union elections. Two stores in Buffalo, NY have already won recognition for their union, Sta
