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.

Have you read this great NEW op-ed from our own @KeniaPeregrino?! Read up on how #RankedChoiceVoting and electoral reforms could bring greater equity to voters of color in Yakima: https://t.co/RV1LkFMuxp

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

[Kamau @Kamaumaumau]

great op-ed from @KeniaPeregrino on the source of inequality in Yakima, and how @representingwa is working with @wa_conservation on electoral reforms that could level playing field for working class Latinos in the east side https://t.co/2knlD6D64g

@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

[RepresentWomen @RepresentWomen]

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

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 ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Washington Community Alliance @WACommAlliance]

“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: https://t.co/fa9tsjw6Wi

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 ⬇️

[Washington Community Alliance @WACommAlliance]

Week 8 of #WALeg! We've been tracking which bills are staying alive & which bills have been axed 👀 Check out our Community Whip Count Tool to see where our Top Nine are at in the legislative process and check your legislators' stances: https://t.co/FaAE5eLiaY

[Fix Democracy First @fixdemocracy1st]

ACTION NEEDED for SB 5047 to Enhance WA Voting Rights Act - Contact members of Senate Rules Committee to place SB 5047 on second reading so it can move to the Senate floor for a vote. https://t.co/OVVlrfRUmK

[Washington for Equitable Representation @representingwa]

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

[Washington Community Alliance @WACommAlliance]

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! https://t.co/rBKy7QhOap

"One in four ballots didn’t count for an active candidate in the [2020] Democratic presidential primary"

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!

[Washington Community Alliance @WACommAlliance]

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

[Colin Cole, Magister ☔ @colinjcole]

Okay, this lil micro-documentary about Yakima, WA and ranked-choice voting is awesome.
