It’s time to bring socialism to Olympia! Canvas with us to support SDSA-endorsed candidate Shaun Scott as he runs to represent the 43rd legislative district in the WA state assembly.

Shaun now has an opponent, Andrea Suarez, the founder of We Heart Seattle, a non-profit which has frequently been accused of its anti-homelessness practices.

We’ll also be gathering signatures for the I-137 ballot initiative which would put an Excess Compensation Tax to fund Seattle’s social housing program on the ballot! What is I-137? Read more about the initiative.
