Union Members for Kshama Sawant: Defend Our Union Sister Against Right-Wing Recall! ✊
Sisters, brothers, and siblings in the labor movement,
The right-wing is on the attack against our union sister Kshama Sawant.
Councilmember Sawant, a member of the American Federation of Teachers Local 1789, represents workers, not corporate executives. She has stood with the labor movement for six years--from the $15 minimum wage to the Amazon Tax for affordable housing--and union members have stood with her.
Kshama has walked countless picket lines, stood with workers organizing into unions, and even gone to jail to defend the rights of workers.
That’s why we, the undersigned, support Kshama Sawant against the right-wing recall effort. We call on our unions to do the same and join the 16 unions that have already endorsed the Kshama Solidarity Campaign, to keep a working class fighter in office.
Join us and tell the billionaire-backed, right-wing recall campaign: Hands off our union sister, hands off Sawant!
