Put people before profit: vote socialist. We'll stand up to the major parties and the big corporate interests they serve, push back against the racism of One Nation, and fight to ensure everyone, no matter their circumstances, has what they need to live a dignified life.

Thanks to everyone who turned up to our Richmond district (Chris Dite) and Northern Metro (Omar Hassan) launch on Sunday! ❤️ 🙌

1. It’s the people who use Remembrance Day etc as an excuse to glorify militarism and war who are really ‘trashing our diggers’. 2. No one much lasted very long at Fromelles but the HS radicals would almost certainly last longer than Steve Price lmfao

VS Brunswick candidate Naomi Farmer "recognises the challenges in running against both the incumbent & one of the major parties. She tells Crikey she’s hoping to grow the party’s vote share to 15-20% & create an 'earthquake' on the left to equal the movement seen on the right."❤️

Holy moly I hadn't logged in to the @vic_socialists volunteer page since last election. It has really levelled up. The party's tech people doing an amazing job. 🙌❤️

If you are left-leaning you should get involved with the Socialists. It’s become abundantly clear that we need to build a populist mass movement that works both inside and outside electoral politics. The time is now and the energy is there - let’s make it happen

Some pics from our launch of VS candidate Michal Kedem's campaign in the seat of Essendon on Friday evening. Thanks to everyone who made it along! ✊ ❤️
