P.S. @SenSaldana is the main sponsor of this bill (SB5438)🎉, but here we have Community Health Workers (or promotoras) statewide highlighting over 30% of those who have COVID are Latinx, but fewer than one in twenty vaccines in Washington have so far gone to someone who's Latinx
About yesterday👀 Sen. Billig (3rd LD) of Spokane and our partners at Raiz of Planned Parenthood speak on the importance of the inclusion of our undocumented workers in a system which they pay into and why we must support a program for undocumented worker unemployment insurance.
Latinos represent more than 13% of the WA state population yet our representation is not equitably reflected in our legislature. We hold this week's Legislative Week of Action to amplify our collective's voices and build our democracy our way.

Organizers of Pasitos Gigantes, an advocacy group for children with disabilities from Vancouver, urged Rep. Monica Stonier (49th LD) to provide the appropriate resources in schools for their children with special needs.
Our Schedule for the Upcoming Legislative Action Week 📅
