Kshama Sawant is a Seattle councilwoman and proud Socialist. She fought for and won the first $15 minimum wage and is a leading figure in pushing for fully taxing Amazon. Her opposition is funded with millions upon millions from corporate donors and Jeff Bezos, who have failed twice to defeat her at the ballot box due to strong organizing by SA and the community. A right-wing recall campaign was built up kickstarted by anger that Kshama let BLM protesters into city hall, which has been turbocharged by capitol.
We must hold the line, they're not just going to come for Kshama, she'll just be the first of many socialists. Only through solidarity can we achieve our goals and destroy capitalism. We must stand together, a United Front, and fight for each other so that they may fight for us in turn.
If you can, please donate, $5, $10, $20, $50, whatever you can manage. It's covid time in hellworld, so don't feel bad if you can't donate, but please spread the word!

Hello there! I’m an activist who’s currently volunteering for the campaign to stop the right-wing recall of Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant. I have been trying to find ways to spread awareness of this recall in hopes of rallying support, and recently, I remembered someone telling me about Chapo having their own site, so I figured I’d knock 2 birds out with 1 stone and stroll on over to check it out :)
(P.S. I’m sorry if /c/politics isn’t the proper place for a thread like this)
Hey look, someone recognizing Chapo, working with a leftist organization, and using that association to find this site.
The exact thing @TransComrade69 said was a problem and would deter orgs.
Kshama's awesome and I hope she runs for higher office one day, keep up the great work.
:sankara-salute: Godspeed comrade. How close is this recall to actually winning? Kshama is a treasure
Well the opposition is vastly outraising kshama, but that's to be expected as they're backed by corporate interests including Jeff Bezos himself. Covid has put a stop to in person canvassing and fundraising, so stuff like this is how they're getting their support.
Every dollar counts
