Update: we hit the livestream so hard they shut down the chat. Sounds like they just don't want to hear from us... but comments are still up so go to it! At 9:00 am, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan is going to be in Everett hosting a pre-scripted and pre-screened “town hall” at the Boeing plant there. Tell the world what you think & let's fill his YouTube livestream page with your unscreened comments, your 👎 😡 🙃, or whatever else you got.

RAise up washington: i-1433

We passed I-1433 to raise the statewide minimum wage to $13.50 over the next four years and provide up to 7 days of paid sick & safe leave.

We need a state paid family leave program that recognizes workers have families, too — and sometimes they need time.
