GET YOUR BALLOT IN!

TOMORROW (TUESDAY 8/6) IS PRIMARY DAY TO ELECT SHAUN SCOTT

Washington’s primary is coming up TOMORROW (Tuesday 8/6). The stakes could not be higher - the establishment has thrown its full support behind Shaun’s opponents Andrea Suarez and Daniel Carusello. We know that we can win, but we’ll have to outflank Suarez and Carusello on the ground. Canvass with us in this crucial final three day stretch to fight for the working class and show the establishment that the 43rd LD deserves a socialist in office! 

Tell Seattle City Council to Pass I-137 Now!

The City Council could be voting on whether to put I-137 on the November ballot or attempt to push it to February in order to delay action, suppress voter turnout, and place big business’s competing initiative on the ballot.

Join us on Tuesday, August 6th, at City Hall to tell the Seattle City Council to pass I-137 and support social housing now. Send an email to Council Members here.

Seattle’s Minimum Wage Is Under Attack

Ten years after 15Now with a grassroots movement of unions, socialists and working people won the first $15 an hour minimum wage in a major city, the Seattle City Council has indicated they are open to permanently ending the sunset clause for tipped workers for businesses with less than 500 employees. The ten-year phase-in period for these businesses ends soon (2025), and workers are set to receive at least a $3 pay raise. Hollingsworth has pulled her bill targeting minimum wage, but the Mayor is taking it up. Seattle Restaurant Alliance is still lobbying hard, and Harrell can introduce legislation to the Council.

The fight is far from over.

Join us at Seattle City Council's August 6th meeting to let them know we do NOT support going back on the minimum wage deal we made ten years ago.
