A win after years of advocacy! Thank you to every neighbor - and so many here in the 37th - who fought for affirmative action and this Executive directive change in WA State. More equity in the workplace. More equity in our economy 💛 seattletimes.com/seattle-news/p…

First day of 2022 Legislative Session! 60 days to get it done! So proud of the work over interim with Surge Reproductive Justice on #Doulas4All, Zero Waste WA for battery recycling & FairVote Washington for Ranked Choice Voting🙌🏾 #everforward #waleg

You know what time it is? It is #AskWALeg Twitter Town Hall time! #waleg #puttingpeoplefirst

We are keeping a focus on tax equity & small businesses. We need our neighbors and communities whole 🙏🏽 #AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

Proud to co-sponsor Rep Rule's HB1664 to get resources to our schools for physical, social & emotional supports. Healthy youth make healthy communities! 💛#AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

You know I am all in for housing solutions NOW. And these bills are the right kinds of solutions we should be championing 🙌🏾🏬🏠 #AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

You know I am all about Noel Frame's HB1406, the first state-level Wealth Tax proposal ever introduced! Look forward to seeing this bill move in the Senate 🙌🏾#AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

This is moving in the House! Doing it for our little ones and their future 🤗 #AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

As a Black, queer woman - who is also a mom and abolitionist; I know our community is why we do this. Their hurts are my hurts, their triumphs are also my triumphs. So for me, it is all about doing right by the people 🙏🏽 #AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

We go where our neighbors are 🙏🏽 We had 100s of zoom meetings with elders, youth, and community members. Nothing about us, without us is how we do the work #AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

Honored to serve with Rep Jamila Taylor, the Chair of the WA State Legislative Black Caucus. Her leadership has been transformative. And she is good, honest people ✊🏽💛💚❤🖤 #AskWALeg #WALeg #PuttingPeopleFirst

Ya'll! Today was the BEST DAY! Thanks to the love & work of community, led by Surge Reproductive Justice and #Doulas4All, we voted HB 1881 off the House floor today 💛🙌🏾🏵 Many thanks to Jesse Elijah Johnson for sharing your story & to Senator T'wina Nobles for your advocacy as this reaches the Senate!

Today we passed HB2050 out of the House to end the practice of Parent Pay! Since 1977, if the state or county incarcerate youth, the family is charged $$$. Putting that family in undue debt. Excited to get this all the way to signing; next stop Senate 🙌🏾

Free fares for youth, electric vehicle goals by 2030, electric ferries, salmon culverts, and the largest transit investments we have ever made as a state. No plan is perfect, yet this one gets a lot right. #waleg #MoveAheadWA #TransitLove

Thanks to Surge Reproductive Justice and #Doulas4All, HB1881 to certify and expand Medicaid reimbursement for birth doulas has passed both chambers! This is my heart bill y'all. And in many ways, full circle; as I started my activism in Repro Justice 💛💛💛 Next stop: Governor's desk

Let's keep this moving ✊🏽

We Birthed That Bill! On Tuesday, ESHB 1881 - Creating a profession for birth doulas in Washington State - passed the Senate with a unanimous vote of 49-0! Thank you to our Doulas For All coalition and legislative champion Rep Kirsten Harris-Talley for their work on this 🤎
