You don't have to do the difficult work of child welfare yourself to help Washington's kids and families stay safe. Just pick up the phone and call the governor at 360-902-4111. Tell him you demand a strong contract for Washington's state employees. #FairContractNow #FundWA4Kids #DontFuckUsFerguson

Tell @governorferguson.bsky.social and OFM that we need revenue, not austerity! Layoffs and program cuts will only hurt Washington State. wfse.org/dcyf/FundWA4... @wfselocal889.bsky.social @wfse.org @seattletimes.com #FairContractNow #FundWA4Kids #taxtherich #amazon #spheres #Seattle #Washington

While I am uncomfortable with Theo Angelis' corporate background, I'm also alarmed by Sharonda Amamilo's attitude towards my WFSE siblings at DCYF. Being a case worker is a tough job and they deserve better. Vote Angelis for WA Supreme Court position 5. @wfse.org #wfse @wfselocal889.bsky.social

Washington's kids cant afford Judge Amamilo to be elected to State Supreme Court. In a high-level meeting to talk about how to stop the explosion of child deaths in WA, she blamed the deaths on state caseworkers being "stupid." Challenged on this, she stormed out of the meeting. Unacceptable.

Public workers never quit, even when the government quits on us. WFSE Local 889 is holding a food drive to support our local food banks through NW Harvest. Please consider bringing a donation into your local King County area DCYF or DDCS office, or donating monetarily through our treasurer Michele.

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

NEW: Dems talked a big game about a wealth tax, a payroll tax, and making our regressive tax code fairer this session. But in the end, they doubled down on sales tax. A quarter of every dollar in new revenue the legislature approved comes from sales tax. www.theburnerseattle.com/post/sales-t...
