Over at PUBLICOLA, Josh Feit asked Pam Banks and Kshama Sawant to name their district mascots.
Pamela Banks: The Jimi Hendrix Statues
The statue itself is an iconic part of Capitol Hill and represents the amazing vibrancy and diversity of our cultural scene. It also reminds us, sadly, of the gentrification and slow loss of black community and culture in central Seattle, a culture that I would like to see nourished and restored.
Kshama Sawant: The Megaphones
We think a good mascot for District Three would be the D3 Megaphones because workers and residents in the district speak up and take action for their interests, even and especially when their voices are marginalized by the corporate media and big business’ representatives.
