30. Support $15/hour activists in SeaTac 2/19

On December 3rd, Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant and three minimum-wage activists were charged with disorderly conduct in the wake of their November 19th arrest for protesting Alaska Airlines' efforts to avoid paying its Seattle-Tacoma International Airport workers a $15/hour minimum wage.


Councilmember Sawant remarked, "Alaska Airlines should be on trial, not the workers who are fighting for their basic rights and for their families! Alaska Airlines is blocking a democratic decision by SeaTac voters, blatantly violating the law, and paying its workers a poverty wage while hoarding massive profits."

Please join us for the arraignment hearing tomorrow:
