Seattle DSA,

It's been a rough year on levels: internally, a global pandemic, a coast on fire. We've been through a lot and we haven't even experienced evenly. Race and gender have been the medium we've experienced the pains our class is going through right now. So, the next thirty days, we establish a mandate that our communities, our People, won't be denied or told to relinquish our agency. We know people need housing, living wages, and the police off the backs of colonized people exploited under capitalism. We know answers will come from community (as Nikkita Oliver is exemplifying by holding listening posts throughout the city to develop policy from Community, by Community).

Here are ways you can support community before Friday:

Phonebank (WED @ 6 PM)

Call people and encourage them to register and vote.

Register to Phonebank

Canvass (THU @ 5:30)

Talk with people about the transformation this campaign can bring to City Hall -- and door knock in North Seattle (District 5!).

Register to Canvass

Relational Organizing

Our strength in organizers is in community and relationships to each other: it's the unions, the communities of faith, the workplaces. Learning how to organize those relationships is not something we're conditioned to under capitalism! Learn how between now and election day:

Support the Wildcat Carpenter Legal Fund

Striking carpenters spoke at our meeting about the challenges they face in being able to take action at high-profile projects, while being disparaged and bad-jacketed, for wanting democratic say, living wages, safety precautions, and the ability to bring their families to pickets. They may even face retaliation for wildcat strikes at "no-strike" clause sites and sweetheart deals done behind closed doors as scabs cross the line at management's behest.
