Kshama Sawant is an Indian-American politician and economist who served on the Seattle City Council from 2014 to 2024. We will discuss how and why Kshama’s team achieved passing a law banning caste discrimination in Seattle, why a similar effort in California was defeated, and what is needed to end caste oppression in general.
