City councilmember @cmkshama is quoting the recent poll that shows that 68% of Seattle supports $15 an hour. #McPoverty #15forSeattle

The same group that turned a Martin Luther King Jr. Day march into a protest for a $15 an hour minimum wage was at it again today in Seattle, Wash., calling for a one-day citywide boycott of McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King.
Are you gonna make a sandwich on Feb 20th? http://t.co/FsR4F45vmx Boycott #McPoverty and show your support for #15forSeattle!

Council member Kshama Sawant, who describes herself as a proud socialist, again marched with the protesters.

Simple math. You can contribute a whole lot more to the economy at $15 an hour than you can at $9.32. #McPoverty #justsaying

Not even President Obama is suggesting a $15 an hour minimum wage, and it wasn’t all solidarity under the #McPoverty hashtag either.
I don't get it, that high school fast-food job was never intended to be a life long career paying for your house & family… #mcpoverty

You want out of #mcpoverty? Get a different job!

#McPoverty! Being a web designer or java programmer is worth 15 an hour. Not a fast food worker. Get a skill…
