Capitalism is a system where the owning class exploits workers for profit - from Amazon facilities to coal mines, we workers, who create value through our labor are relegated to barely making ends meet so that the boss can accumulate more and more wealth. We must replace this with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society. We believe there are many avenues that feed into the democratic road to socialism. Our vision pushes further than political parties and leaves behind authoritarian visions of socialism in the dustbin of history.

​

     We demand a democracy that creates space for us all to flourish, not just survive and democratize our workplaces. We want to publicly own the key economic industry that dominates our lives, such as energy production and transportation.

​

     We want the multiracial working-class united in solidarity instead of divided by fear. We want to win “radical” reforms like single-payer Medicare for All, defunding the police/refunding communities, the Green New Deal, and more as a transition to a freer, more just life.

​

     We believe that the workplace belongs to those who labor in it. We want a democracy powered by everyday people. The capitalist class tells us we are powerless, but together we can take back control.
