Washington's Primary Election Day came and went and it’s hard to escape the reality that the very real, existential threats to our democracy are greater than they ever have been. @representingwa

#RepresentationMatters -- government makes decisions that affect everyone, so every community deserves a fair say in the political process! #RankedChoiceVoting helps members of marginalized groups get the voice they deserve.

Y’ALL, the Washington Voting Rights Act 2.0 is on its way to the Governor’s desk! The #WVRA will ensure every vote counts AND matters! So proud to have worked alongside @weareoneamerica, @SenSaldana, and other leaders to pass this bill. #VRA #votingrights

@KeniaPeregrino from @representingwa says that, even though Washington is seen as having more progressive laws, there is still a gap in representation for certain groups. Using RCV and educating the people is key to advancing fair representation. #2023DSS

Coalition building and organizing in your community [for fair representation] is also really important ”

Democracy isn’t working in Yakima - and we bet it’s not working in your city either. See why, and what we’re doing about it!

BIG s/o to Arlette Lopez and Rural People’s Voice for all the work they do and showing up to #waleg to make the case for improving the Washington Voting Rights Act (HB 1048 + SB 5047) which has been *ESSENTIAL* to strengthening and improving democracy in Yakima and Wenatchee

If Alaska pulled off this election—buttressed by a sudden, all-mail primary & first RCV in the state, in a place where ballots cast at polls are sent to elections division by mail, covering more geographical ground than all of CA, TX & MT combined —who couldn’t pull it off?
