SocialistWorker.org is the Web site for Socialist Worker, a national newspaper founded in 1977 and published by the International Socialist Organization.
In its more than three decades of existence, Socialist Worker has strived to be a source of information like no other, presenting a socialist analysis of the events and forces that have shaped today's world and sharing the voices of those involved in the many efforts to try to change that world. As a result, SW has always gravitated to the stories of struggle that rarely, if ever, appear in the mainstream media--the coal miners in Kentucky fighting for their rights, the South African workers and students who toppled apartheid, the young women and men who stood up to corporate globalization in the streets of Seattle, the veterans and active-duty soldiers resisting the U.S. war for oil and empire in Iraq.
But we have also sought to do something more--not only show what's wrong with the world, but encourage more people to take action to change it. Our goal is to describe the events that affect working people's lives, show the connections between them, fit them into a picture of the world that can explain why they happen--and give a voice to the determination and commitment to change the world.
