Fight the Cuts! Pack City Hall!
Seattle’s “socialist” mayor, Katie Wilson has released her budget proposal for 2027, which is based on massive cuts to public services across the board. The cuts include millions taken from firefighters, food assistance programs, and 911 operators and emergency responders. They are taking $68 million away from housing and handing $68 million to the Seattle Police Department.
There are no new taxes on Amazon or the rich. Workers will continue to foot the bill with a $20 million increase in sales taxes, an expected doubling of parking and traffic tickets, and a 17 percent increase in parking fees.
The budget is the closest thing the city has to a “contract” with the workers. Just like in a union contract struggle, the bosses are relying on workers being too disorganized to fight back. What we need is a workers’ party. We need to fight back against these cuts in a united front and take steps toward building that party.
Join us at the next budget hearing at 5 PM on November 5th at Seattle City Hall. Pack the council chambers, rally in city hall, and fight back against the Democrats.
