DESCRIPTION:How the Socialist Alternative candidate Kshama Sawant won 96,000 votes in 
 Seattle\n\nSpeakers from Socialist Alternative will tell us how councilor 
 Kshama Sawant was popularly elected to the Seattle City Council in November 
 2013. This was the first time in a hundred years that a socialist had won a 
 mass election in Seattle. We used this victory to promote the movement for 
 the $15/hr minimum wage. Seattle’s April 2014 law established the highest 
 minimum wage in the US at the time and legitimized $15 as a winnable 
 demand. The fight for 15 and a union is gaining strength. \n\nWe believe 
 that capitalism needs to be challenged on the street, in the workplace and 
 at the ballot box, and that after a couple of decades of retreat, the ideas 
 of marxism and socialism are once again being embraced by young 
 people.\n\nSunday, April 26, 2015 - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\n6501 Telegraph 
 Avenue, Oakland (just North of Alcatraz Ave.)\n\nSeating is limited, so 
 plan to come early. We start promptly.\nFREE - but hat will be passed for 
 donations to NPML\n\nAbout Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\nA weekly 
 discussion series inspired by our respect for the work of Karl Marx and our 
 belief that his work will remain as important for the class struggles of 
 the future as they have been for the past. \n\nFor info or to subscribe to
