Had the opportunity to speak to @DispatcherIlwu and Local 23 alongside @SecMartyWalsh!
Our port workers keep our nation going and Washington state's economy up and running.
Thank you for all your hard work as we continue to fight for you and your families in Washington D.C.
If only women would meet and talk, we might have had a different outcome than the escalating, dangerous, militarized situation we’re in now. We sent this letter to the two top women diplomats in the US and DPRK — it’s not too late. @DeputySecState @Jenkinsbd call Madame Choe. 🙏
🧵1/6 Today, we sent a letter signed by 100 prominent women from over 20 countries to two high-ranking women diplomats of the United States and North Korea, urging them to set the table for peace talks.

Happy birthday to my heroine, mentor and sister @GloriaSteinem who has done so much to improve the lives of women and girls. Gloria co-founded @WomenCrossDMZ and before the pandemic, we traveled to the DMZ with nuclear scientist Sig Hecker. Here’s their messages of peace.
If the US doesn’t change course immediately on North Korea, we could be headed toward a dangerous escalation on the Korean Peninsula. The last thing the world needs right now is another conflict, especially one involving nuclear-armed actors. 🧵
The unresolved Korean War affects so many people, from members of divided families to those who fought in battle and everyone living on the Peninsula under a constant state of war. Together, we collectively call for Korea peace now! #KoreaPeaceNow
Mourning my dear, dear friend and comrade, Hyun Lee. She was an amazing person in so many ways, and she touched the lives of many. Truly, she made a difference. The world is a poorer place without her.
My heart breaks. We’ve lost a giant in our movement for Korea peace.
Working with Hyun at Women Cross DMZ has been an honor. She was such an amazing organizer & mentor - and the kindest person you’ll ever meet.
Rest in power. We WILL end the Korean War with your guiding light
"In Memoriam of Hyun Lee." Please watch this moving tribute from @WomenCrossDMZ to their beloved sister who laid down her weary tune yesterday. "Every generation has its leaders who build powerful movements; she was among the giants of our time." Truth! https://t.co/3QjdCZ6J8I
#InternationalWomensDay is a perfect opportunity to recognize representation by women in government, science, business, and so many other fields.
As the first Black woman to represent the Pacific Northwest in Congress, I want to wish you all a Happy International Women's Day!
We are absolutely devastated, but Hyun's guiding light will continue to shine brightly, helping our movements continue the path to achieve peace in Korea. We will miss her dearly and will forever carry her in our hearts. ❤️
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved colleague, mentor, teacher, friend and sister, Hyun Lee (@onekoreapeace). A tireless advocate for peace in Korea, Hyun sowed seeds that will continue to sprout for generations to come. https://t.co/76O4pxFYXS

I visited Hope for Heroes in @cityofyelm with @JoeDePintoWA and received an introduction to equine therapy, which helps South Sound veterans who may suffer from PTSD and other health issues.
Thank you for the hope you provide our veterans!
Fabulous to see @RepRaskin a true progressive support calls for Korea Peace Now! Let’s end the oldest US war and move the money from the Pentagon to investments that give us true human security.
