Thank you Representatives Salahuddin, Hall, Thai, Callen, and Senator Slatter for sharing your thoughts with us during our endorsement interviews. We’ll be announcing our endorsements shortly after May 13.

Sammamish UniServ members were present, among other WEA members, for the historic signing of the Millionaire’s Tax. Our efforts are not over for fighting for ample school funding!

We are so close to passing the Millionaires Tax – let’s not miss out on this chance to hold the ultra-rich accountable to paying what they owe for our schools and public services.

This is so urgent that we’re calling–reach your legislators through the switchboard (800-562-6000) or directly to their offices (find the number here: https://leg.wa.gov/legislators/?activeView=MemberList)

Thank you Representative Springer!

Thank you Representative Zahn!

Yes we are ✊!

Members and our labor partners also turned out for the 41st Townhall event to advocate for school funding. We educators are critical members of our communities and our voices matter!
