While the Sunday rally was hosted by us, it's purpose was to amplify the voices of the Lyles family & other victims of police. Sawant was one invited speaker among many. In a crowd of hundreds, Durkan's prosecutor instincts are to single out a prominent POC as the "ringleader".
NEW: Durkan is calling on City Council to investigate Sawant for various actions, including letting protesters into closed City Hall and taking part in march to Durkan’s home. She notes council “may punish or expel a member for disorderly or otherwise contemptuous behavior.”

This is what we expect of "police accountability" in Seattle. Cops kill a Black pregnant woman, in her house, with her children present, when she called to THEM to report a burglary & they only get a 2 day suspension.

Seattle's a libertarian city with a progressive facade. The philosophy of "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" made manifest. Painting crosswalks to celebrate those who can't afford the neighborhood. People of every race, gender, & creed are allowed to die on the street.

Much of military recruitment is driven by financial desperation. While campaigns like universal healthcare, college debt forgiveness, and raising the minimum wage are good in themselves, they can also work towards starving the beast.
