DESCRIPTION:Socialist Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant speak in Oakland! With 
 Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Chris Hedges and Richmond City Councillor 
 and former Green Mayor, Gayle McLaughlin to speak alongside Kshama at this 
 event! \n\nIn 2015 Socialist Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant’s 
 re-election campaign is the frontline in the battle against the political 
 dominance of the 1% in Seattle and across the country.\n\nSince her 
 election in 2013, Councilmember Sawant has led the opposition to the 
 corporate agenda in the Pacific Northwest. She spearheaded the first 
 successful fight in a major city for a $15 an hour minimum wage that has 
 since spread to San Francisco and Los Angeles. This year she’s leading 
 the housing justice movement to address the out of control rent in 
 Seattle.\n\nAnd it’s because of this that, so far, over 160 CEO’s and 
 top executives from Starbucks, Alaska Airlines, Boeing, and real estate 
 developers have contributed over $80,000 to Sawant’s opponent.  \n\nThis 
 is only the beginning.\n\nThe political and corporate establishment in 
 Seattle are prepared to spend whatever it takes to defeat Sawant.\n\nSuper 
 PACs full of dark money have formed with deep out of state pockets 
 determined to defeat Kshama and crush any movements that threaten their 
 profits.  \n\nLike Chris Hedges wrote, “Sawant’s fight is our 
 fight!”.\n\nIt is crucial that Kshama Sawant be re-elected to continue 
 leading a movement for an alternative vision of politics - one that puts 
 the needs of working people before corporate profits.\n\nJoin the movement 
 for independent politics that is challenging the status quo in 2015
