To address WA's housing crisis, we need systemic solutions. Solutions built on a foundation of access to housing and support - not punishment.

This is a reminder of how easily surveillance technology can be turned against us when there are no guardrails.  That’s why we’re fighting for the strongest possible regulations on license plate readers in WA.

GOOD NEWS: SCOTUS upholds ruling that protects rights of people experiencing homelessness to ask for help to meet their basic needs. This reinforces a basic understanding that asking for assistance is constitutionally protected speech. Read the SPLC statement: buff.ly/c5YKcRc

This is a win for the right of free speech and expression. No one should be targeted or removed from public office for lawfully exercising their first amendment rights.

📚 It’s #NationalReadAcrossAmericaDay, & there’s no better time to uplift the voices of trans women! At a time when we’re fighting against an onslaught of attacks on trans people's rights, it’s more important than ever to support this community. Repost to show your support for trans women! 🏳️‍⚧️

Trans people won't be erased, no matter how hard politicians try.

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war. Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

LaLa Zanell is a dedicated force in the fight for trans liberation. Before working at the ACLU, she fought for police reform, advocated for LGBTQIA2S+ New Yorkers who've experienced violence and defended transgender rights before the White House and Congress.  #BlackFuturesMonth

Ryan Coogler is a highly acclaimed director, writer, and genre-defying filmmaker known for blockbuster films that explore Black identity and experiences.  Sinners, his latest film, received a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations, more than any other film in Academy Award history. #BlackFuturesMonth

Many of us are rightfully looking to the Jim Crow and Civil Rights Era to understand the abuses we are seeing now. Black movement leaders and organizers risked jail time, losing their jobs, and losing their lives to win freedoms that we all now cherish.

Surveillance companies like Ring and Flock Safety rely on weak rules and deceptive marketing to operate in our communities. But you are pushing back; it's time for lawmakers to match that energy.

It’s essential that we prepare to take action in November. To learn more about how to get involved, visit the No Hate in Washington State website: nohateinwastate.org

CASE UPDATE: A court has dismissed our challenge to Initiative 2081: a deceptive and harmful law that threatened 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, homeless youth, youth of color, and students from other marginalized backgrounds — as well as their access to confidential health care and inclusive education.

During WWII, the U.S. government forcibly took thousands of people of Japanese ancestry from their homes and exiled them to detention centers, and later concentration camps.  Fred Korematsu was arrested and convicted for refusing to go to the camps. He appealed all the way to the Supreme Court.

Part of the myth of Ring is that this is MY camera on MY door--but when you see a map and realize that there are a hundred in your neighborhood and they're all connected by a corporation that serves the police, the illusion dissolves.

BREAKING: We reached a settlement that requires the Trump administration to permanently maintain medical research that had been erased on a government website. The government doesn't get to censor science.

We mourn the loss of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who played an extraordinarily consequential role not in only advancing our nation’s civil rights, but also strengthening our democracy.

The Trump administration is arguing that federal courts can't step in to stop unconstitutional immigration detention. If that were true, Mohsen could have been detained for ten months on a charge that the government couldn't even substantiate before an immigration judge.

You had me at, "I know my rights."

The late Shirley Raines poured herself into bringing compassion to unhoused communities in California and Nevada, giving hygiene products and food to as many people as possible day after day. She showed millions the difference one can make by providing a neighbor with a meal, a makeover, and care.

Politicians shouldn't get to choose what medical care is right for us – that's a decision for us, our families, and our doctors to make. 

At the heart of our resentencing work is a simple principle: people are more than their worst mistakes. We are committed to ending mass incarceration in our state – in our lifetime. We firmly believe justice should allow room for change and that our systems should reflect that. #WaLeg

Age verification is here, and it's reshaping the internet -- now it's hit Discord. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

This is a win for harm reduction providers and community members who utilize these life-saving services in Lewis County!

NEW: We reached an agreement to resolve our lawsuit against the Seattle City Attorney’s Office over its use of a policy mandating disqualification of an elected judge.

Today we celebrate, tomorrow we liberate!

We can’t afford to wait as federal agents terrorize us with impunity. Congress must rein in ICE’s lawless abuses now.

We're with Bad Bunny: We'll never stop demanding better for our communities.

Our collective power is working! Washington state lawmakers heard our calls to protect our privacy and, as a result, voted to pass the Driver Privacy Act out of the Senate. From tireless work by activists and advocates, and support by everyday people like you, our joint efforts led to this vote. 🎉

We can have public safety without giving away our collective right to privacy. Regulating automated license plate readers (ALPRs) will help limit who can access sensitive info about our daily lives.

If you care about justice, your community, and being part of something real, come to our next micro lobby day! We will be in Olympia throughout February to fight for justice, fairness, and second chances in Washington.

When Washington state abolished parole in the 1980s, it caused more people to be locked up for longer – disproportionately impacting Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color.

Opposition to ICE's abuses is growing by the day. Whether it's speaking out at the Grammys, joining a peaceful protest, attending a Know Your Rights training, or demanding action from Congress, people across the country are resisting ICE's lawlessness.

Arresting Don Lemon and Georgia Fort for informing the public sends a chilling message aimed at suppressing future reporting President Trump doesn’t like.

It's always a good day to know your rights. Here are a few guides that may be helpful to you this weekend and beyond: ✅ Student political speech and walkouts  ✅ Interacting with ICE or law enforcement ✅ Protesting Scroll through for links! ⤵️

If we want to solve Washington’s severe housing and homelessness crisis, we need solutions rooted in dignity, accountability, and results. Thank you to Rep. Gregerson for her leadership on HB 2489, a justice-oriented solution.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

When we try to fix harm with more harm, we end up running in circles. Lauren knows this as a survivor and advocate striving for change in the criminal legal system.

As @oavotes.bsky.social shares in their testimony in support of the Driver Privacy Act (House Bill 2332), Washington should join the growing list of states that are passing common-sense regulations for automated license plate readers (ALPRs). Our safety depends on it.

ICE is the highest funded law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet Congress is debating giving them even more money to wreak havoc on our communities. Demand no additional funding for ICE or Border Patrol: https://action.aclu.org/send-message/stop-ices-attack-our-communities

This is progress, but we are not letting up. Demand your Senators vote no on a bill that would keep funding ICE while doing nothing to keep us safe from these out of control federal agents. Take action at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks-

A 5-year-old detained after preschool. Multiple people shot and killed by federal immigration agents. U.S. citizens arrested by masked officers. Our elected officials have the power to reign in this lawless cruelty — they must use it.

We the people demand an end to ICE's relentless attacks on Minneapolis communities.
