A Resolution responding to plans by the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) for redevelopment of the 561-unit Yesler Terrace Public Housing Project (Febr

This resolution was missed during the Demogram preparations, and will be brought up for consideration at our February meeting. - Chad

Whereas, according to the County’s Housing Benchmarks report, in Seattle there are 39,500 households with incomes at or below 40% of median but only 13,500 privately owned rental units offered at rents affordable to this income group, and

Whereas, two-thirds or 30,000 of those 39,500 households have incomes at or below 30% of area median (about $23,150 for 3 person household) yet there are only 310 unsubsidized rentals in all of King County offered at rents affordable to these very low income families

Whereas, redevelopment and gentrification in our communities continues to cause an accelerated loss of this dwindling stock of very low income housing units due to demolition, speculative sale, conversion, and increased rents, and

Whereas, nearly all that is left of Seattle’s housing stock serving those with incomes at or below 30% of area median are subsidized “public housing units” owned and managed by the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) including the 28 acre 561-unit Yesler Terrace Garden Community, and

Whereas, Yesler Terrace is an irreplaceable resource that has served generations of extremely low income families, those with disabilities, the elderly, first generation immigrants, and households of color - especially families from the black community - since its establishment over 70 years ago as the first fully integrated low density public housing project in the Country, and

Whereas, Yesler Terrace and the housing, services, and sense of community it provides is needed now more than ever to address a resurgence of poverty and homelessness in our city, and

Whereas, the Seattle Housing Authority now is seeking permits from the City of Seattle to demolish Yesler Terrace and replace it with as many as 5000 units (most offered as expensive rentals and condominiums), expensive retail space, and over a half million square feet of offices.

Therefore, be it resolved that the 46th District Democrats goes on record calling on SHA to make the following commitments:

1) SHA shall commit to 100 percent replacement on site of all 561 public housing units (serving those at or below 30 percent of median income) they are removing and to the extent it’s economically feasible, SHA shall increase the number of public housing units on site above 561 so that public housing makes up a significantly higher percent than only 10 percent of the 5000 units now planned for the site.

2) SHA will ensure that all units located in the surrounding community that the agency has acquired and vacated in anticipation of relocating Yesler Terrace residents to those sites – that all such units will either be reopened as low income units or replaced by SHA at their expense and offered at comparable prices. Such removal further contributes to a loss of very low-income units in our city.

3) SHA shall pledge to use only new sources of revenue, including substantial income generated from the more intense retail and office uses planned for the site, to build their replacement public housing units and further SHA shall pledge that no existing finite source of revenue such as city housing levy dollars, state tax credits, or state trust fund dollars, needed to expand our city’s low income stock, shall be tapped for construction of any on or off-site replacement units, and

4) SHA will guarantee that the public housing located in the redeveloped site will not be segregated and moved away from views, parks, play areas, trees, and other amenities offered to higher income groups, and that such amenities including the availability of larger ground related and view units shall be distributed equally among all income groups and be equally accessible to all income groups, especially those living in the public housing units, and

Be it further resolved that the 46th District Democrats will forward this position to our Mayor and City Councilmembers, and also call on them to exercise their clear authority over SHA’s plans and to require SHA to comply with the commitments identified in the above four subparagraphs by attaching them as binding conditions to the alley vacations, upzones, and other land use changes SHA has requested and which are needed for their redevelopment of Yesler Terrace, all of which is needed in order to ensure that SHA continues to fulfill its historic mission and what it was created to do – serve the poorest of the poor in our city.

Notes from the Chair, February, 2011

Thank you so much for your support! I’m ready for the next two years, and as always, we need your help.

I am making the following appointments to our committees:

Program Committee: Gerry Pollet
Legislative Action Committee: Sarajane Siegfriedt
Membership Committee: Antonia Gonzalez
Finance Committee: Sabrina Hill
Cole Committee: Jan Ames
Platform/Resolutions: Dean Fournier
Outreach Committee: J Peter Shapiro
Elections Committee: Gabe Meyer

I’m writing this immediately following a meeting of our Finance Committee, where Kathryn Lewis and Stan Moffett shared all of the fantastic work that they have done with Sabrina Hill and Marcia Bennison. Just like two years ago, the transition is happening slowly but safely. We take our responsibility seriously, and we will have a proposed budget ready for review at our Executive Board meeting and at our General Meeting.

The Cole Committee met after the General Meeting to start going through the ideas gathered from all of the political leaders that we have met with over the past year. I have put a link to the Cole Fund on our home page, and we’re still looking for new ideas.

The Bylaws Review is underway, headed by Dean Fournier. If you have questions or concerns about how our organization operates, please contact him with questions and to present new ideas. We want our bylaws to reflect how we do business, while holding the Eboard accountable to our goals as an organization. We will present our proposed changes at the March meetings.

“If you want to get something done, ask a busy person.”

I heard this refrain several times on Saturday, January 29th at the Reorganization meeting of the Washington State Democrats. They were looking at me.

On Saturday I was elected as “Chair of Chairs”, meaning the Washington State Democratic Chairs Organization (WSDCO). This is a state-level coordinating body of chairs and vice-chairs from the counties, LD’s, and thanks to an amendment to the bylaws that we passed on the same day, the caucuses as well. It will help us coordinate efforts in outreach, organizational development and training all around the state in support of our Democratic Platform and candidates.

Our February meeting will be a Legislative Session update, and all three of our elected officials from Olympia will be there to hear our views on what the state is facing and to give us their take on the best solutions. See you there!

Resolution Calling for Federal Recognition of the Duwamish Tribe

WHEREAS the ancestral lands of the Duwamish Tribe include the current boundaries of the City of Seattle, and members of the Duwamish Tribe continue to reside on those lands; and

WHEREAS the Duwamish Tribe, represented by Chief Si’ahl (Seattle), was the first signatory of the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, guaranteeing the Tribe rights and federal recognition, but the government of the United States of America has not honored the provisions of that treaty with respect to the Duwamish Tribe; and

WHEREAS the Duwamish Tribe received federal recognition by Executive Order of President Bill Clinton on January 19, 2001; and

WHEREAS that Executive Order was rescinded by the Bush Administration on January 21, 2001; and

WHEREAS four bills to extend federal recognition to the Duwamish Tribe have been submitted by Representative Jim McDermott (HR 477 – Jan. 29, 2003; HR 852 – Feb. 16, 2005; HR 949 – Feb. 8, 2007; HR 2678 - June 3, 2009), which Congress has failed to act upon; and

WHEREAS the State Democratic platform calls for “[r]estoration of federal recognition for formerly recognized Tribes”; the King County Democratic Platform states specifically that “[f]ederal recognition of the Duwamish tribe must be restored”; and the 46th District platform declares support for “[r]einstating federal recognition of the Duwamish tribe”;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we affirm our support for federal recognition of the Duwamish Tribe as provided by President Clinton’s Executive Order; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we urge all members of Washington State’s Congressional delegation to sponsor and support legislation to accomplish such recognition, and to notify us of their actions toward rectification of this unfortunate miscarriage of justice.

We need your help this weekend!

Don’t wake up on November 3rd to Senator-elect Rossi!

Fellow Democrats,

This year more than ever, we need your help to ensure that progressive candidates are elected into local, state and national office. As you read this, corporations (some even outside the United States) are spending millions of dollars to defeat democratic candidates both nationally and here in Washington State. That’s why we need you to volunteer today! The only way to counteract such blatant abuse of democracy is with grassroots people power.

By now all voters have received their ballots and it is up to us to ensure that we are doing all we can to support our friends and allies. However, with 9 many days left before Election Day, time is beginning to run out. Please sign up to volunteer and join me, and thousands of progressive activists across the country, as we work together to ensure that big corporations don’t steal this election and our democracy.

Earlier this week, former President Bill Clinton was in Washington State to fight in support of Senator Patty Murray and other congressional candidates in our beautiful state. His message to us, "Don't be fooled, don't be played, don't stay at home."

In this election, the choice is clear. Please volunteer in the effort to move our great country forward by signing up for a volunteer event here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/GOTVolunteer2/?source=wa_dems.

Help the Coordinated Campaign!

Ways to volunteer with the Coordinated Campaign:

Phone banks:
9am-9pm Monday-Friday and 11am-8pm on weekends
1310 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA
Call Brittany: 425-503-3032

Please do everything you can to help this measure pass so our kids can get a stronger foundation!

And thanks so much to Imogene Williams, a PCO in the 43rd Legislative District, for bringing this information to our meeting tonight!

Another report from our membership

One of our members just sent me this and I wanted to share:

I am in Washington DC and will go to the Jon Stewart march next Sat and will be here on election night.

I'll be back Wednesday and I hope I get a better seat mate than coming. An evangelical minister sat between me and a Republican and he had to do this tightrope walk trying to keep us from blows. I have to practice just saying 'WHAT??!! You can't argue with them.

We may not be able to argue with some people, but we can certainly vote against their candidates. Please help GetOutTheVote!

Report from one of our PCOs

Chad,

I completed my whole list earlier today. I also put flyers at the 20 unit new house/condo complex, that was not on the list at all.

I can't remember which of you told me this: to put a single-hole punch in the upper left corner of the endorsement flyer with a thin rubber band looped through the hole, so I could hang it on door handles and not use the mail boxes. (I remember, Chad gave me this tip). This worked great.

I also printed labels that said:

Scott Leiter
Questions? Ideas? 206 522-9208
email: scottleiter@hotmail.com
PLEASE VOTE!

and affixed them to the space on the back of each flyer. This worked quite well and could be made up easily for the less tech savvy in the future.

I am happy to see Patty Murray is ahead in the latest poll (KCTS). I am bummed that 1098 isn't doing better. I am working on an appeal to health care providers next. I am also pulling for Suzan DelBene.

See you on Thursday night, after seeing Obama/Patty in the morning at Hec Ed at the UW.

Scott Leiter

PS - My time is limited until next weekend. If more help is needed then, let me know.

Update to Voters Guide

It looks like we skipped one of the Ballot Measures in our Voters Guide, and I wanted to make sure that we put out our preference on Senate Joint Resolution 8225. We did discuss this measure at our August Endorsement meeting, however I forgot to include it on the Ballot Measures page, so it was also forgotten when we drafted the Voters Guide. I'll fix the website now.

Debt Limits Constitutional Amendment. The proposal would change the way interest payments count toward our debt limit. Gina from the Treasurer's office spoke in support of this proposal. It had overwhelming support in the Legislature. The Federal stimulus bill reimburses states for interest payments. The proposal would align with the stimulus bill language to take advantage of the Federal subsidy. Gina believes this will provide approximately $650 million over 5 years, although the actual amount depends on economic conditions.

46dems Endorsement Results: Support 43; no position 1. We Support this Amendment.

Also, we published our Voters Guide before King County Elections had released the official titles of the King County Charter Amendments, and I wanted to update everyone with the correct references.

Here is what we originally published:

On King County Charter Amendments we endorsed a Yes vote on Ordinances 2009-0496 and 2010-0328, which are both common sense reforms eliminating redundant candidate filing, and highlighting duties in unincorporated areas, respectively. However we ask that you Reject Ordinance 2010-0169, since it is an important check on the powers of the Sheriff to have bargaining rights reside solely with the County Council.

Here is how that should read:

On the King County Charter Amendments, we endorsed a Yes vote on Charter Amendment No 1 (Amendments to the Preamble) and Charter Amendment No. 2 (Amendment of Section 690 - Campaign Finance), which are both common sense reforms highlighting duties in unincorporated areas and eliminating redundant candidate filing, respectively. However, we ask that you vote No on Charter Amendment No. 3 (Amendment of Section 890 and New Section 897 - Collective Bargaining), since it is an important check on the powers of the Sheriff to have bargaining rights reside solely with the County Executive.

Please don't forget to vote!!

Followup: Streets for All Seattle

We passed a resolution in September supporting the efforts of Streets for All Seattle. This is a letter and special request for our consideration.

Dear Chad and the members of the 46th Legislative District,

Thank you for your on-going membership in the Streets for All Seattle coalition; we continue to be excited by our momentum working with the Council to make sure that Seattle's transportation infrastructure works for all of us.

As we have gone through the last eight months, one of the problems that has arisen time and time again is that there are too few options for transportation funding at the local level, each of them problematic. While the State's gas tax goes to build new highways and streets where there weren't ones before, our local ability to fund the creation, maintenance and operations of our local transportation infrastructure is severely hampered by the lack of local tools.

To that end, we are developing a letter--a draft of which is enclosed--to Seattle's state legislators asking them to seek more local transportation funding options in the upcoming 2011 General Session. As a member of the Streets for All Seattle coalition, we would like to include the 46th District Dems as a co-signatory to the letter. With your special relationship to the legislators, we wanted to highlight your signature on the letter.

Please let us know what we can do to help you be comfortable adding your signature to the letter. We are trying to have the signatures by the end of the month.

Thanks,
Brice Maryman
Streets for All Seattle Cabinet Member

Notes from the Chair, October, 2010

I saw a question on Twitter the other day. It was from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, asking “What will you do to make sure Dems win?”

My answer: “I will stick to my principles, no matter what.”

I believe that our voters want to see a clear choice in November. I believe that it is our mission to give them that clear choice. They need to know what we stand for, what we will work for, and what we will do over the next few years if they will give us the honor of representing them in the halls of Congress and in Olympia.

It is a clear choice between people who want to see our foundations secured so that we and our children may reach for our potential, and people who believe that our goal should be in selfish desires to profit from that foundation.

It is a clear choice between people who will work for the common good of all, and people who work to give an advantage to only a few while claiming to support the right of everyone to eventually, maybe, get those advantages themselves.

This has been the clear choice for years. Decades. Centuries. This is the choice that we made during World War II, when we fought against fascism. This is the choice we made during the American Revolution against the British East India Company and their government allies in King George III’s Parliament. Whether to have a government focused on giving everyone a fair chance at a good life, or if we wanted a government that allowed money to twist the rules out of the hands of We the People.

And it’s the choice we will make in November. After two years of seeing what kind of change is possible in our systems of government, it seems nobody is satisfied. Both the Conservative Movement and the Progressive Movement are struggling to come to grips with the pace of change. It is far too fast for many on the Right, and too slow for many on the Left. But it’s moving in the right direction. Our votes in this election will determine whether we keep moving in that direction.

Our PCOs are going door to door, trying to get our Voters Guide into people’s hands by the time the ballots drop on October 15th. We’ve gotten a LOT of good responses so far. Thanks for the support. Please do your part by volunteering to help elect our candidates and spread the reasons why we have taken our positions on the ballot measures.

It’s really the WHY that is important. Because we believe in our Platform, and we stick to our principles.

Can we win? Sí se puede!

Chad Lupkes
Chair, 46th District Democrats

PCOs, please pick up your literature!

This is a message out to all of our PCO's:

Here is how and where to pick up the Voters Guides for the General Election. They are at the home of Barbara Whitt and Burt Webb. The Guides are in boxes in front of their garage, and the lists and envelopes are in the house. Please call Barbara or Burt at 206-729-7410 for their address and to arrange a pick-up time.

If you need us to drop your stack off at your home, please let us know.

Our lists consist of the following:

Strong Democrats
Likely Democrats
Unknown
No Data

If you have enough to deliver to your entire list, please do.

The ballots go into the mail on October 15th. What we heard from some of our experienced PCOs at the September meeting is that it is most effective to go door to door, actually talking with people. It is less effective to just drop them on doorsteps. What this becomes is a timing issue. If you plan to talk with people, they're more likely able to remember that they have the voters guide because you will have engaged with them as you hand it to them. If we just drop it on their doorstep, it might get lost. So we're recommending that while door to door talking can be done at any time between now and November 2nd, drop-offs should be done as close to when the ballots hit mailboxes as possible.

Marked up lists should be returned to Brittany from the Coordinated Campaign when you are done. We always have hope that they will enter the data and make it part of the Votebuilder system. What I would like to see all of us focus on is the membership drive on the back cover, because that's where we get the bulk of our activist outreach. The more members we have going into the 2011 election year, the better!

See you out walking door to door!

Creating the Political Will to End Homelessness.

The Interfaith Task Force on Homelessness hosted the tenth of a series of workshops on September 15 for an in-depth look at the issues of homelessness, and concrete steps the community can take to address the problem. Task Force founder Reverend David Bloom, a resident of the 46th District and our endorsed candidate for Seattle City Council last year, delivered a stirring keynote address. He reviewed the history of governmental abdication of its commitment to investing in low-income housing – an abdication that, long before the Great Recession made matters so much worse, resulted in the explosive growth of nationwide homelessness over the last 30 years.

"[T]here was a time, not so long ago," he said, "when the federal government made a serious annual investment in low-income housing production. Significantly, and not coincidentally, that commitment terminated around 1980, the very time we began to see the dramatic growth in homelessness that has continued to this day."

Rev. Bloom issued a clarion call to action:

"The question for us is our collective will as a people—a caring and compassionate people—in our democratic society . . . to work against overwhelming odds to turn back the tide of greed and selfishness and indifference that stands in the way of ending homelessness. . . . As Martin Luther King, Jr. said in his famous 'Beyond Vietnam' speech delivered one year to the day before he was assassinated, 'A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.' That is the path we are on today."

Rev. Bloom continued, "Unless we unite to redress [the problem of homelessness] with a new human rights movement, our best efforts to eliminate homelessness and to restore a more sustainable economy for everyone will never be enough." Homelessness is not a problem just for its immediate victims, he said. "We accept it as a permanent social condition at our own peril."

Click here to read Rev. Bloom's speech, including the practical things we can do right now.

Bill Block, Project Director of the King County Committee to End Homelessness, presented a report on "Progress and Challenges" to date, which provides further data on failed governmental policies that have exacerbated today’s problems – as well as notable local achievements in addressing them. Other workshops dealt in depth with youth and families at risk, School District data on homeless children, specific initiatives to provide shelter for all who need it, barriers to stability, and many other aspects of the problem. Nancy Amidei, in her panel presentation on "Developing the Political Will to End Homelessness" referred workshop attendees to the website of the 46th LD for its advocacy links, continuing work that she started at the University of Washington. For more information on the work of ITFH, you can go directly to the Interfaith Task Force on Homelessness website, which is also one of those links on our Advocacy page.

Resolution to support Streets for All Seattle

The following resolution has been submitted and will be considered at our September meeting. Please feel free to comment here on our blog.

RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT STREETS FOR ALL SEATTLE

WHEREAS many neighborhoods in the 46th Legislative District lack sidewalks and safe street crossings for pedestrians;

WHEREAS we, the 46th District Democrats, stated in our platform that: “better public transportation will promote equal opportunity and will improve the quality of life for all;” and that we support:

“1. Establishing public transit as a priority over road construction, so as to better serve the public and reduce auto use and emissions;
2. High-density development and economical rapid transit in urban areas;
3. Incorporating vital local concerns into transportation planning; ...
5. Reviewing Seattle planning and zoning to reduce automobile use by promoting density around transit centers and route intersections.”

WHEREAS, Seattle’s Pedestrian Master Plan and Bicycle Master Plan are underfunded (in 2008, only $12 million of SDOT’s $200 million budget was spent on bicycle and pedestrian improvements);

WHEREAS the Seattle City Council in February 2010 adopted a goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030;

WHEREAS Seattle voters have strongly supported transportation initiatives, including 69% for Transit Now (2006), 53% for Bridging the Gap levy (2006), and 70% for Sound Transit 2 (2008);

WHEREAS we believe improvements to pedestrian, bicycle, and transit infrastructure can help:
1. create livable, walkable neighborhoods that attract residents and employers,
2. increase mobility and quality of life for all members of the community, including the young, the old, the poor, and the disabled,
3. enhance street safety (there were 1,045 bike accidents in Seattle between 2006 and 2008), and
4. promote clean transportation choices that lessen our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce our production of greenhouse gases.

NOW, THEREFORE, on this 16th day of September, 2010, also known as “World Ozone Day,” the 46th District Democrats resolve as follows:

Recognizing that transportation budgets are typically separate from general fund accounts, we support the goal of increasing investments in infrastructure and services that promote walking, bicycling and transit as means of transportation in Seattle;

We support efforts to raise $30 million in new dedicated annual revenue to help stave off cuts in Metro bus service, double the city’s commitment to the underfunded Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plans, and build critical elements of Seattle’s transportation infrastructure;

We further support investment in sidewalks and pedestrian infrastructure in areas of the city where sidewalks currently do not exist; and

The Chair of the 46th District Democrats should recommend a member of the 46th to serve on the advisory committee of Streets For All Seattle.

Submitted by Rep. Scott White
