“Public policy has too often treated men’s suffering as inevitable or invisible. But suffering is not destiny. It’s a signal. When we listen, we have the opportunity to build stronger, safer, healthier communities.” @RepBerg on her pioneering Bill to create a Boys and Men’s Commission in WA State. housedemocrats.wa.gov/blog/2… #waleg via @WAHouseDems

Let’s Go Washington obviously doesn’t understand transparency - not just in their initiatives, but also in their financial dealings. They’re willing to do illegal tricks to cut critical programs.

We do NOT take donations, money, or property for any reason. We do NOT ask for or accept cash donations or volunteers for disaster response. If you encounter someone claiming to represent FEMA asking for money, be careful as that is likely a scam.

Repealing the Healthy Children’s Fund would have rolled back the progress to expand high-quality, affordable child care. The extremists who proposed this plan didn’t follow the rules to create an initiative. I’m grateful the court made the right decision.
