US: re-elect Kshama Sawant

Socialist Alternative member Kshama Sawant is standing for re-election to Seattle City Council after her historic win in 2013 with 90,000 votes. Kshama won that campaign supporting the fight for a $15 an hour minimum wage – which has since been won and introduced across Seattle. This time Kshama is focusing her campaign on the demand for rent control.
