Democratic Leaders Launch 'No Hate in WA State' Campaign Opposing Anti-Trans Ballot Measures
Rallying under the name No Hate in WA State, opponents to two conservative-backed initiatives attacking transgender rights launched their campaign last week.
Let’s Go Washington, Brian Heywood’s political action committee (PAC), is pushing for passage of the two initiatives on the Washington state ballot in November.
U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D - Seattle) spoke at the kick-off event to garner support against the initiatives, which was held at Neumos in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
“I want to be really, really clear about what these initiatives are. They are lies that are bankrolled by MAGA Trump donors,” Jayapal said. “One of these initiatives forces our schools to out LGBTQIA+ kids to the very families that might throw them out, and the other [...] literally forces these invasive, disgusting exams on every girl who wants to play a sport, just so that they can target a handful of trans kids.”
