Here are ballot drop box locations. Be sure to turn in your ballot by 8 PM on Tuesday, December 7. Let's keep Kshama Sawant representing Central Seattle. She opened the door to the public during the height of the rebellions last year because it's the public's city hall -- and not corporations, not police. People can see right through the lies and slander this election: more donors from Seattle have contributed by headcount to fight the recall. However, a big, slimy PAC and wealthy landlords have maximized contributions behind the recall. In short, whenever you see mailings and glossy signs, always ask who has that money, what it's for, and who is served by its ends? Landlords and developers don't fill the donor rolls because they're deeply concerned about "decorum" and "civility." It's about the money. So vote "NO!" to the Recall.

Great. The chapter General Membership Meeting was moved to Tuesday, December 14 at 7 PM to ensure all eyes and attention are on the recall effort. Be sure to register here or in the link below. We have several voting items and a package agenda going into next year.

Also, shout out to DSA members Whitney and Harris for putting together a children's book about a group of elves taking on an exploitative fulfillment center at the North Pole, based on IRL experiences working at Amazon.

Lastly, keep loving each other with grace and understanding. We've seen a new variant, several setbacks in recent months. The sky may grow dim but there's a red star rising. We have no time to lick wounds. This system was never designed for human dignity. The system will fail, its contradictions will inevitably eat itself. We can put that blame on the new Mayor and City Attorney and liberalism as it collapses and as we organize to care for one another.

Yours,
