Green Party of Washington Endorses Kshama Sawant for U.S. Congress

 

The Green Party of Washington has formally endorsed independent socialist Kshama Sawant for U.S. Congress in Washington’s 9th District. Kshama is challenging incumbent Democrat Adam Smith, a genocidal warmonger who has been in office for 29 years. The Kshama Sawant campaign met with the Green Party of Washington on July 14, 2026, to mobilize to get out the vote for the August 4th primary election and plan mutual support. Kshama is the socialist who won landmark victories for working people as a Seattle City Councilmember by building movements to fight and defeat the billionaire class and their political servants. We need all hands on deck in the coming weeks to turn out the vote by August 4th so that she can advance to November’s general election for a head-to-head against Adam Smith. “The Green Party of Washington has formally and proudly endorsed Kshama Sawant for Congress in the 9th District,” announced Marc Mixon, Chair of the Green Party of Washington, following the July 14th meeting. In addition, the Green Party of Washington and its local Seattle chapter have an ambitious plan to field Green Party candidates for the 2027 Seattle City Council elections in all seven districts. Beginning in 2027, Seattle City Council elections will be conducted by ranked choice voting. “I’m excited about joining the Green Party and supporting its plans in Seattle and around the state, and I am grateful for the party’s endorsement of my campaign for Congress,” said Kshama, whose grassroots campaigns won multiple terms to Seattle City Council and defeated a billionaire-funded recall effort. In solidarity, Justin Bare, Campaign Manager of Kshama for Congress Marc Mixon, Green Party of Washington State Chair We have SIX days left to get out the vote for Kshama!

One Seat in Congress Can Change the Country

 

"I only have one seat" is not an excuse, as Kshama Sawant proved during her ten years on Seattle's city council. With only one seat she won nationally unprecedented renters' rights, the highest minimum wage in the country, and other major victories for working people. She was able to win these things because she didn't "go along to get along" -- she used her office as an organizing center for mass working-class mobilization. She intends to transform national politics in the same way if she wins her race for Congress, which is why anyone who cares about the direction of this country should be actively supporting her campaign.

Over $11K Have Now Been Donated from "Melt ICE" Sales

Minnesota Artists United Against ICE has sent out an update on the funds it has raised through sales of the "Melt ICE" compilation, which I purchased several months ago. The music (110 tracks) is uniformly of high quality and I've already been moved to check out the other work of several of the artists.  They write:

We are happy to report that as of today, July 8, your generous support has allowed us to donate a total of $11,310 to MNTogether since February. Monthly donations have been made based on the amount received from Bandcamp (minus fees for payment processing + taxes).

We will continue to donate funds as we receive them to help our community members recover from the impact of Operation Metro Surge.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we hope you have enjoyed the music.

Best,
Organizers Anna Devine, Jonny Fuller & Ryan Kemp 

As explained on their Bandcamp page: “Melt ICE” is a Mutual Aid Compilation album featuring 100+ Minnesota musicians against the occupation of federal agents terrorizing our communities and ripping families apart. We strongly condemn the actions of ICE and Border Patrol agents in our home state.

An update from ControlAI:

 

Last week 'Five Eyes' — a joint intelligence sharing operation between the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand — shared a statement on recent AI developments:

"Frontier AI models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. The timeline is not years, it is months."

Expect to see more warnings like this as AI companies recklessly continue to pursue superintelligent AI. More key defence organisations are taking the risks seriously as the fruits of unregulated AI development can no longer be ignored.

However, there is a better path, a good future, if we can take it.

It starts with you.
