As a mental health social worker, Ramsey earned his credentials on the front lines of the housing crisis, the mental health crisis, and the war on Black communities. After graduating with his Masters in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles, Ramsey became a school social worker in San Francisco’s Bayview/Hunter’s point - a historically Black and working-class community disproportionately impacted by environmental racism. Seeing the impact of billionaire policies on his students motivated Ramsey to take the fight for change statewide.
As a key member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and the Peace and Freedom Party of California, Ramsey has been instrumental in campaigns demanding justice for victims of police brutality, including the fight for Sawandi Toussaint and Banko Brown. He is active in the Palestine solidarity movement - helping organize and speaking at rallies with over a hundred thousand people in the first months after October 7th.
Ramsey Robinson’s life and work embody the belief that another world is possible—one where all people, free from oppression, can not only survive but thrive.- I’m fighting for socialism - an economic system where working people are in power, and we plan the economy to meet the needs of people and the planet. Right now, California’s workers create $4 trillion a year. But 194 billionaires have more wealth than the poorest 27 million of us. That's not an accident — it’s capitalism working as intended. We need its opposite - socialism, the system where working people control the wealth we create.
- 194 billionaires hoard $1.2 trillion while half of California lives paycheck to paycheck. There is more than enough wealth in California to meet the needs of everyone in the state. Housing, healthcare, and a good job shouldn’t be luxuries — they're rights we can guarantee.
- We win when we build a movement - because when millions of us get together, the billionaires get scared. Change has never come from the ballot box alone. Everything we have won has been when people have come together and demanded change. That’s why I’m building an independent movement with the Peace and Freedom party. Billionaires have two parties. Working people deserve our own.
Healthcare should be free and universal - covering everyone, for everything. I would implement a free universal single payer healthcare system for all Californians. No fees, no premiums, no deductibles—ever. Everyone’s covered regardless of immigration status.
