This is a call out to any leftist musicians or bands who can come to either New Hampshire or the Boston area in June or July. The organisation I'm in, Socialist Alternative, is running Danny Keating for Congress in District 2 in New Hampshire. Danny is a democratic socialist, working class candidate.
If elected Danny will accept an average worker's salary. He will fight against austerity, school closings, the assault on unions, against war and imperialism, and for lgbt rights.

The purpose of the campaign is to help build a broad working class movement.
We are planning a fundraiser concert in the near future. If you want to help please PM me. Thanks.
About
Danny Keating is running for Congress as an Independent and as a member of Socialist Alternative in New Hampshire's second district.
Description
Trillions, yes trillions, of dollars have been handed by the federal government to the big banks that kick people out of their homes, dodge their taxes and helped to wreck the economy. Both parties, controlled by big business, are complicit in the corporate domination of politics and our lives.
Danny Keating is running for Congress as an Independent and a member of Socialist Alternative. Danny's running because the two parties of big business, Democrats and Republicans, have carried out budget cuts, attacks on civil liberties, an assault on women's rights and ushered in further corporate control in this country. These are all symptoms of a sick system.
We need a massive job creation program to hire workers with union wages, benefits and rights to rebuild infrastructure, stop environmental destruction and provide necessary social services. We could pay for this by closing corporate tax loopholes and increasing taxes on corporations and the top 1% as well as slashing spending on the wars and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. If corporations threaten to leave the country due to fair taxation, then we should take those companies' resources into public ownership with democratic workers' control and management, using the resources for the benefit of all.
We can only win a jobs program through mobilizing a massive movement of community groups and unions that protests, educates and builds democratically-run organizations. A mass movement for jobs and services and against racism, sexism, layoffs, home foreclosures and budget cuts should be connected to a political struggle against the two parties and the corporate domination they represent. We need a party of working people, run democratically, with elected representatives who are accountable and only accept the wage of the average worker.
Elected representatives of the two major parties, left to their own devices, don't create change. We saw this after the elections of Obama and the Tea Party. To get real change, we need a big protest movement. This has created change in the past: from the labor movement for a 40-hour work week, to the civil rights movement against racism and the women's movement for equal rights, mass demonstrations and direct action can win real victories.
Danny Keating if elected to Congress will build a voice for these struggles against the capitalist system and for a better future, a democratic socialist society
