PITTSBURGH—Supporters of the Socialist Workers campaign began petitioning here June 23 to put Socialist Workers mayoral candidate Ryan Scott on the ballot.
Scott, a meat packer and a member of the Young Socialists, is shown above campaigning in the city’s East Liberty district. Central to his campaign is support of workers’ struggles to organize and use union power to defend themselves from the bosses’ assaults. Over the July 14-15 weekend, campaigners fanned out across the city, bringing the total number of signatures to place Scott on the ballot to nearly 2,000, well over the goal of 1,600. —TONY LANE Related articles: SWP launches campaign in Philadelphia Front page (for this issue) | Home | Text-version home |
