The Socialist Workers Party will run Joanne Kuniansky for U.S. Senate from New Jersey and Lea Sherman for Congress, from the state’s 8^th CD.

The SWP candidates:

• Defend Israel’s right to exist as a refuge for Jews and its war to defeat Hamas. Free the hostages.
• Back Ukraine’s fight for independence from Moscow’s invasion.
• Demand an end to the U.S. government’s decades long economic war against Cuba’s socialist revolution.
• Safeguard constitutional protections from government interference.

Colorado’s ruling Donald Trump off the ballot is only the latest blow to basic freedoms carried out by Democrats, the socialists say. The SWP candidates say safeguarding constitutional protections from government interference is crucial for the working class, regardless of whose rights are targeted.

In the face of falling real wages, increased unemployment, and capitalism’s erosion of the family, organizing solidarity with union struggles is indispensable. Kuniansky and Sherman walked picket lines of striking New Brunswick nurses last year and are building support for striking bakery workers at International Flavors and Fragrances in Memphis.

Working people need to break from the capitalist parties — Democrats, Republicans, Greens and Libertarians — and build a party of our own that can lead the working class to overturn capitalist rule and use workers power to rebuild society from top to bottom and join the fight for a socialist world.
