Support staff keep WA running and it’s time to fight for them. Governor Ferguson can order OFM to honor the raises we negotiated. Call 360-902-4111 to tell Ferguson to make OFM do the right thing. Send a letter actionnetwork.org/letters/gov-... #SupportStaffSupportUsAll #FairContract

There’s still time to call the Governor and tell him to honor negotiated raises for secretaries in state government! Support staff keep Washington running, and this is the first targeted increase they’ve received in over a decade. Text SECRETARY to 237263 to get all the info and take action!

Have you called Governor Ferguson today? His Office of Financial Management is denying those in the secretary job classes their negotiated pay raises. Call 360-902-4111 to tell Ferguson to make OFM do the right thing, or send a letter actionnetwork.org/letters/gov-... #SupportStaffSupportUsAll

Cheers to our members and friends out there today standing for democracy and solidarity. Stay safe everyone. #NoKings

This #WaLeg budget involved harmful cuts to be sure, but we were fortunate to weed out many of the worst of them. @governorferguson.bsky.social's resistance to revenue reform is the reason for all of them and all our focus now must be on pressuring him to sign this compromise into law. 360-902-4111!

Yeah, Bob, we state employees would just like to remind you that we fought you every step of the way and this could've been a lot easier if you weren't so gun-shy when it comes to progressive revenue fixes. @wfsec28.bsky.social @wfselocal889.bsky.social

The vote is today! We continue watching with bated breath, but to even get to this point is a tremendous victory thanks to thousands of members and friends who called, wrote, lobbied, rallied, and organized for the last four months. WE are the Union and when we fight, we win! #WashingtonForAll

Civil rights groups, labor organizations and politicians praised Alexis Herman as a "trailblazer" who fought for the rights of women, Black people and American workers over the course of decades.

Assuming this passes tomorrow, all in all we did. @wfsec28.bsky.social members successfully put enough pressure on the Legislators that they did not go through with the furlough and they will fund out contracts. washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/04/26/n...

No, an empty chair cannot.

"Today, I clocked in at 6:30 to personally drive a child to school so that her education wouldn't be disrupted by having recently moved. Still made it to the courthouse by 8:30 for an important hearing." Can an empty chair do that? #EmptyChairsWA #WashingtonForAll #WaLeg

Next up from Li'l Bobby's, we've got: Budget Trix! Part of an austere balanced budget. #WaLeg

We were trying to think of what it would take for @wadems.org to repair their relationships with working people, especially with state employees. We thought of a few starting points... #WashingtonForAll #WaLeg

“Today, I helped Wayne [name edited] tie his own shoes for the first time ever!” Can an empty campus do that? Will adults with developmental disabilities learn to tie their shoes on the streets? Or warehoused in ERs? Tell your reps to vote no on SB 5393! #emptychairswa #WashingtonForAll

The @wadems.org are running a familiar playbook of trying to pinch pennies by shutting down critical programs to balance the budget and preserve an absolutely insufficient and regressive tax system. More awful consequences are sure to follow. #WaLeg #WashingtonForAll

"Today, I worked with a foster parent and a youth to deescalate a potential crisis so he could stay there with his 3 siblings. I also redacted hundreds of pages of case file for the caregiver to review so the kids can be adopted." Can an empty chair do that? #EmptyChairsWA #WaLeg

Li'l Bobby's presents: Cap'n Cuts! They're traumatically delicious! Part of an austere balanced budget. #WaLeg

"There is a house that has incredible decorations on one side of Marvel superheroes for the residents." Can that happen in an empty campus? #EmptyChairsWA #WashingtonForAll #WaLeg

We have organized with county dems in 19 counties in Washington to start phone banking and door knocking. We will be informing people about who donates to their elected officials and who is refusing to tax the rich or offer any meaningful pushback. If you are interested in join us, send a DM. #waleg

Call your legislators NOW at 888-258-4588 and tell them to REJECT SB 5393! #WashingtonForAll #SafeStaffingSavesLives #WaLeg

DCYF: "Today, I visited a child in foster care to assess their well-being, made progress bringing another child closer to exiting the system, and processed critical legal paperwork to keep a third child's case moving forward." Can an empty chair do that? #EmptyChairsWA #WashingtonForAll #WaLeg

Li'l Bobby's brings you Furl-O's! Part of an austere balanced breakfast. #WaLeg

"Today clients were voting on the theme for summer fest which normally takes place in August and they were really excited about it." Can an empty campus do that? Call your reps and tell em. #EmptyChairsWA #SafeStaffingSavesLives #WashingtonForAll #WaLeg

And you can eat them with your bacteria infested milk, because the FDA has been destroyed. #waleg #washingtonstate
