As is typical Seattle City Council is working one some bullshit to destroy our ethics code 🤨
A large crowd of Kshama Sawant supporters are currently in attendance at this afternoon's council meeting. Many of whom worked to pass some of the housing reforms this major ethics code change will likely also make it legal to destroy.

There's been A LOT written about social housing in Seattle but this video is a really great 1 minute explainer on the coming up ballot measure.

If you're a Seattle voter, the single most important election is on February 11th!
Social housing is on the ballot, this is the single most important initiative in decades

The likely last Social Housing(I-137) showdown at Seattle city council is starting right now 👇🏿

Activist are encouraging Seattle voters to attend these meetings (virtually or physically) if able and please sign up for public comment.
If you're attending virtually, you'll need to register online. Registration will not open until an hour or two before the meeting you're interested in. 👇🏿

Then at 2pm the main showdown will begin, knee capping social housing.
One of the interesting marketing/get-out-thr-vote problems with the council's move is it changes how I-137 will appear on ballots. If they had not tried to make a sabotaged alternative it would just say "I-137" instead it will reas "Proposition 2" or something similar which is just enough friction to confuse a lot of voters.

The House our Neighbors meeting was excellent. They brought up damning reporting from the stranger where former Seattle Attorney Pete Holmes describes the treatment I-137 has gotten as voter suppression 🔥
I have some many great notes from this webcast and damn, there's some serious work to do to hold this council accountable for Voter Suppression.

Ok it seems the council has finally revealed their sabotage plan for I-137.
They introduced an alternative which reduces the $50M for social housing down to $10M ‼️
It also changes the funding source to literally take it out of other existing services already limited budget. 🚨
But the voters petition, which passed and their trying to ignore, would use a small tax on Seattle's mega corps and large businesses.
They will likely delay I-137 to Thursday's meeting.

Seattle city council is probably about to do some bullshit.
I'm still a bit dazed from the getting assaulted thing, would normally try and give public comment, but I'm really not feeling up to much rn.
People waiting for the meeting report a notable increase in police presence. Folks who spoke last week say they were indentified by cops and followed around while waiting.
They are just calling the meeting to order now.

After last week's public comment it's clear Seattle city council doesn't listen to public comments at city hall. So I guess the people will have to take a lil road trip to be heard.

What's the APP? @JusticeForHerbert wrote an op-ed last year explaining that and how the city has dragged its feet on this program AFTER passing the legislation.
Just like Social Housing, Seattle city council really showed their real colors by largely sabotaging this popular legislation.

Right, so where's that leave us, folks who want tax money to maybe help people?
Come on down to the Seattle City Council meeting, Sept 17th, 2024, 2pm! ✨
We're probably gonna be fining homeless people $5k for existing instead of building housing, city council should probably hear from you. 📢
This one seems important, mark your calendar👇🏿
