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

We got the opportunity to sit down for an in-depth interview with King County Councilmember Girmay Zahilay, a big advocate for RCV and proportional representation. Check it out ⬇️⬇️⬇️
28 Feb 2023
“We're facing some of the biggest existential threats to our society that maybe we've ever seen. The problem is, the infrastructure of our democracy makes it hard to solve those things.” See the full interview w/ @CMgirmayzahilay about #RankedChoiceVoting: youtu.be/idCxnNgz9PQ

Prez Ranked Choice voting is dead. It’s a real bummer since fully 1/4 of Washingtonians who voted in the last presidential election didn’t get counted 😨 But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep making the case for RCV! Check out the updates on @WACommAlliance's Top Nine ⬇️

In Yakima, you can see why fair representation for people of color makes a real difference in everyone’s lives. Check out what we’re doing to make democracy work for everyone in Washington! #RankedChoiceVoting

When we talk about “proportional representation”, we mean that all groups of people get representation in the government that’s proportional to their share of the population. We’re working to make that happen with #RCV and multi-member districts! youtu.be/BPErGU_XpTs

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
