are you in Seattle? did you get Democracy Vouchers? they're a program in the city where residents can have municipal money sent to candidates of their choosing. it's a way that you can support local candidates even if you can't throw money around the way our millionaire and billionaire class does.
right now you can send that money to just one race, the contest between Tanya Woo (appointed by her big business allies on the council after losing her election) and a bunch of progressive challengers. the leader of the pack, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, has racked up a bunch of endorsements, including from the Stranger and the Urbanist.
great news! you can fill out your democracy vouchers on Rinck's website:
if getting out to a mailbox feels like a pain or you misplaced your vouchers, you can still get Rinck another cool $50 this way, which seems like money well spent, especially since it costs me nothing but a few minutes of time.
I just filled out the form; if you're in Seattle and can do this, you should too.
