FIGHTING TRANS BILL: Tonight, hundreds are expected to pack Motion Church in Puyallup to launch the signature drive for the “REJECT 5599 REFERENDUM KICK-OFF.”

This in direct response to State Sen. Marko Liias’(⁦@SenMarkoLiias⁩) controversial transgender bill, signed into law… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

LEADING THE CHARGE: Parent advocate Dawn Land is the force behind this referendum to take out SB 5599. She says people from all across the spectrum, including the LGBTQ+ community, are standing with her. She says aggressive ground game starts now.

GOV SIGNS: Critics say this transgender law removes parents from the health and mental health care decision making process. But champions of this bill say it will help protect vulnerable at risk youth, especially the ones seeking “gender-affirming care.”

I CONFRONTED MARKO: In April, parents and critics packed the Capitol Grounds and railed on Sen. Liias(@SenMarkoLiias) during a protest. Trans bill supporters held a counter rally on the other side.
