Socialist Alternative (SAlt or SA) is a Trotskyist political party in the United States. SAlt formed as Labor Militant in 1986, when members of the Committee for a Workers' International created a US branch.
SAlt describes itself as a revolutionary socialist party fighting for a democratic socialist economy, because capitalism is fundamentally incapable of serving the interests of the majority of people.
SAlt's highest-profile public representative was former Seattle City Councillor Kshama Sawant.[4]
