Urgent deadline at midnight! Socialist Alternative

Socialist Alternative<newsletter@socialistalternative.org>
Please see below for a message from the campaign to re-elect Kshama Sawant, Seattle's Socialist Alternative City Councilmember.
Friends,
Corporate PACs are on track to shatter records for dark money spending in the city of Seattle. That’s why our grassroots campaign must shatter records too. 

Tonight’s deadline is of critical importance. This is the last fundraising deadline before the August 6 primary election. Can you chip in $27 by midnight? 

Not one, not two, but three PACs are sending out an unprecedented flood of corporate cash for “anybody but Kshama Sawant.” CASE, the Chamber of Commerce’s corporate PAC, already has amassed $1.1 million alone. Led by notorious corporate bullies like Amazon, Comcast and Vulcan, the corporate PAC war chest grows every day. Jeff Bezos’ top advisors themselves have even swooped in, with multimillionaire Amazon executives donating to both Zachary DeWolf and Egan Orion, two of the candidates running against Councilmember Sawant.

Councilmember Kshama Sawant is not for sale. This campaign is not funded by big developers, Amazon executives, or corporate lobbyists. We are incredibly proud that our campaign is supported by 3X more donors than any other candidate in the race.

With the help of working people like yourself, we cancelled out Amazon’s initial $200,000 contribution to the CASE PAC. We are now just $15,000 away from cancelling out Vulcan! Vulcan, one of Seattle’s biggest luxury developers, wrote an $80,000 check this summer to fight against our growing movement for rent control. Your donation will send a powerful message that you stand with Councilmember Kshama Sawant in the fight to win a historic rent control ordinance for Seattle. 


Don’t let corporate cash buy this election. Can you dig deep and contribute before midnight to re-elect Kshama Sawant, the socialist Councilmember money can’t buy?


Thank you in advance,
