This is what people power looks like and with it we can change everything about how we live, play, breathe, and work.

This impressive sweep of council races is a testament to the vitality of the organizing infrastructure that has emerged in the city over the past six years. Under Isaac Slevin and Callie MacDonald, who directed Reclaim's canvassing and political operations, more than 200 volunteers knocked over 25,000 doors across fifteen races, defending incumbent councilors targeted by the landlord and charter school lobbies, preserving and expanding the progressive council majority, and retaining Morales's state representative seat for his endorsed successor, Amy Santiago.
