The South Carolina Workers Party is a new political force for working people. We believe that the current system is rigged in favor of the rich and powerful, while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. We’re here to fight for the needs of working people – not the interests of the wealthy or big corporations.

The corporate-backed establishment and their media machine wants workers to believe we have no voice in politics. But we are the ones who make South Carolina run, and it’s time we ran South Carolina! Our party program unites the working class of this state in order to win power and build a better life for the vast majority. We stand on the shoulders of those who fought before us. Together, we’ll build a future that puts people’s needs above corporate greed.

  1. Housing For All

    Everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to live. There are plenty of empty buildings in South Carolina that can be used to house people who need it. We will make sure that housing is affordable for all, ban evictions, and stop foreclosures that put families on the street.

    2. Healthcare For All

    Health shouldn’t be something people have to pay for. No one should go into debt for routine or life saving medical care. We’ll push for a healthcare system that covers everyone, with no insurance companies taking a cut. Everyone will have access to free healthcare, from doctor’s visits to hospital stays.

    3. Education For All

    We will end attacks on public education. Further, we will make public colleges and universities tuition-free, and cancel existing student debt so that young people aren’t burdened with years of loans.

    4. Money For Our Needs, Not War

    Our tax dollars should go to what people need, not to wars that only benefit big corporations. We call for major cuts to military spending and an end to participation in foreign wars. Then, we will take that money to fund schools, hospitals, housing, and clean energy jobs here at home. Our focus will always be on improving life for working people, not on supporting the interests of war profiteers.

    5. Freeze Prices on Essential Goods

    Price gouging corporate CEOs are raising prices and making record profits, driving up the cost of living — but wages aren’t keeping up. We call for a freeze in the prices of essential goods like food, medicine, and gas to protect working families from price hikes and inflation. Profits on Wall St. surge while we struggle to make ends meet — it’s time to end the robbery.

    6. Supporting Unions and Living Wages

    The only way working people have power is when we stand together and organize in our
    workplaces. It’s no coincidence that South Carolina, the state with the lowest union
    membership rate in the country, is one of only four states that does not have a state minimum wage.
    We will make it easier for workers to join unions and fight for decent wages, benefits, and safe working conditions. Every worker deserves a living wage and respect on the job.

    7. An Economy For Workers, Not Billionaires

    The economy should work for all of us, not just for the rich. We will push for policies that give workers more control and end the free rein of the elite. For too long, corporations have taken advantage of South Carolina workers by paying low taxes and low wages. We want to make sure that the wealth we produce benefits us, not billionaires.

    8. End Police Brutality And Racist Mass Incarceration

    Racism is a poison that divides the working class — and a favorite tool of the bosses. We will work to end the mass incarceration of all oppressed and working people, end inhumane conditions in South Carolina’s prisons, stop the private prison industry from profiting off people’s suffering, and fully prosecute all acts of police brutality and violence. We support reparations for African American and Native communities, and oppose raids and demonization against immigrants.

    9. A Green Jobs Plan

    We will create green jobs by investing in clean energy, building public transportation, and fixing our broken and decaying infrastructure. This plan will help us tackle climate change while creating good paying jobs for working people

    In Conclusion

    The South Carolina Workers Party isn’t begging for scraps from the table — we’re building our own. We’re done waiting on promises from the Good ‘Ol Boys who’ve sold out our towns for
    corporate handouts. Together, we’ll fight for what’s ours. We’re not just fighting for better wages or benefits, we’re fighting for a society where people’s needs come before corporate profits. We want a world where every person can live with dignity;
    where housing, healthcare, and education are guaranteed, and peace is a priority. Join us in this fight for a better future for working people in South Carolina and beyond.
