Dear State Legislator,
Please pass and fund the Protect Washingtonians bills below. At a time of heightened federal enforcement activity and growing threats to personal safety, privacy, and democratic institutions, Washington has both the authority and the responsibility to act. This package of legislation - which we refer to as “Protect Washingtonians” - provides critical protections to uphold our U.S. and Washington state constitutional rights, ensures governmental transparency, and expands access to justice for people harmed by unlawful or abusive practices.
Please pass these bills listed in the Protect Washingtonian's pkg below off the floor in your respective chambers before House Cutoff on Feb 17:
House Chamber
HB 2105 - Immigrant workers
HB 2464 - Private detention/ reports
HB 2161 - AGO investigation powers
