Somehow, there’s always money for another tax break for billionaires and there’s never enough money when a rural family needs a hospital, a doctor, or a safe place to deliver a child. I’m sick of it. And I know Mainers are too. We can change it together.

In 2020, members of Congress got private briefings on the pandemic and some sold stock right after. Weeks later the market crashed and the rest of us took the hit. I'll vote to ban congressional stock trading with no loopholes. Serve the public or play the market. Not both. #AngieForFlorida

A big vote for socialists in this election will send a message across Australia that a politics of hope, solidarity and collective struggle for a better world can challenge the hatred and division of the right. And the bigger the vote, the louder the message will be!

The Easter Rising of 1916 would not have happened without our Union. By the Spring of 1916, the ITGWU headquarters in Liberty Hall had become a bastion of opposition to British rule. The banner on the building since late 1914 stated that; ‘We Serve Neither King Not Kaiser But Ireland’.

Build the socialist movement to fight the right. Labor & Liberals fed One Nation through years of racism, attacks on social welfare and smashing up the unions. They’re not the solution. We need a socialist movement which unites working class people to fight racism and the rich.

Profits and affordability are competing interests. They’re counterposed, you cant rely on something driven by the need for profitability to deliver things that reduce its own profitability. Relying on the market to provide the things we need to survive is never going to work.
