The People's Struggle Alliance (PSA), known as Jana Aragalaya Sandanaya in Sinhala, is a Sri Lankan leftist political coalition formed in response to the 2022 Aragalaya (Struggle), a mass uprising demanding systemic political and economic reforms. It unites various progressive groups, including political parties, trade unions, and activists, intending to challenge neoliberal policies and advance socialism in Sri Lanka.
History The PSA emerged from the widespread discontent expressed during the 2022 protests, which highlighted deep-seated economic mismanagement and political corruption in Sri Lanka.
