If elected, would you be open to implementing a participatory budgeting process for the city of Seattle?

Q from a constituent: would you support participatory budgeting?

Id like this implemented in Seattle bc the people of the city should decide where our money goes. All evidence of places where this is done have higher rates of (& more effective) investment in edu, infra, & public services.

"Countries where resistance campaigns were nonviolent were 10 times as likely to transition to democracy compared to countries where resistance turned violent—regardless of whether the campaign succeeded or failed in the short term."

We have the same goal: to stop all of those things.

If we truly want to do that, then we have to be intentional about our actions. Every historical precedent and all research shows that nonviolent protests are much more likely to result in long term success

Totally, def agree with you. And also, property violence is easily used to justify police violence against people and acceleration of a police state.

How are Waymo cars are fascist property?

Also, if the goal is to slow fascist progress or force them to spend $$, that's best done via subterfuge vs publicly where it is used to justify violence against ppl and acceleration of a police state.

Violent actions do nothing to help our cause.

Peaceful protesting is how we get folks on board and highlight the tyranny of trump admin.
