I intend to vote to override the Mayor's vetoes at tomorrow's special Full Council mtg.

This morning @ Council Briefing, I stated that I stand by what Council did this summer & I continue to believe these are the right policy choices. I will continue to support divestment. /1
b/c Council is required to follow the Open Public Meetings Act, I don't know the outcome of tomorrow's vote.

If vetoes are sustained, then the work we have collectively done is erased. This will mean zero dollars from 2020's budget for BIPOC-led community safety investments. /2
Today, I introduced an alternative bill that is a compromise between the Mayor and Council.

This bill will *ONLY* move forward if the vetoes are sustained by my colleagues.

Again, I plan to vote to override all the vetoes. /3

This morning I visited @CityofSeattle’s free #COVID19 testing site in West Seattle, hosted by @UWMedicine and @SeattleFire. Our testing was safe, fast and convenient. Interested in also getting tested? Find a testing site here: seattle.gov/mayor/covid-19…
Testing is available regardless of your citizenship/immigration status.
You will not be charged for the test. You do not need to have insurance or a doctor's note to schedule a test.

This weekend has been marked by great personal loss to those of us who knew and loved Rahwa Habte and Sarah Leyrer. Both from different walks of life. Both loved community, organized community and staunchly fought for what was right. Both gone too soon. Rest in Power. /1 ImageImage
I first met Sarah in law school. She was effervescent, quirky and had a heart pure as gold. I convinced her to work at Casa Latina and we often stood in store parking lots volunteering as legal observers to make sure day laborers were protected from ICE raids in South Seattle. /2
A few years later, we were both honored by the Latina/o Law Student Association @seattleulaw. She eventually worked @OLS_SEA. She was devoted to immigrant workers. /3

Like many of you, I have watched with dismay as the SPD has failed to demonstrate restraint or exercise the de-escalation principles that should be the hallmark of a truly reformed law enforcement department.
The culture change we are pushing for, and have been since 2010, has failed to materialize. The City Council has taken the initial votes to begin the process of transforming how the City of Seattle ensures community safety for everyone, particularly our BIPOC communities.
Meanwhile, the Mayor insists on sowing seeds of fear, intimidation and misinformation from a bully pulpit, further dividing our community in a time of unprecedented crisis. All the while, she calls for unity.

Today is a down-payment on community investments and an ongoing commitment to transform how we deliver community-supported public safety services across the city. /2
Our collective commitments now, plant the seeds and provide a blueprint for massive divestment from our militarized police force and reinvestment in community-based public safety #solutions. Phase 2 of this work begins in just 7 weeks. /3

This is great news for Child Care Providers across the Country, who are essential to our collective recovery from the #COVID19 crisis! Thanks to the House Members who voted in favor and many thanks to our Senator @PattyMurray, who needs our support to get this done! 💪/1
If passed, the #ChildCareIsEssential Act, "would provide grant money to child care providers in an effort to help the facilities reopen safely amid the coronavirus pandemic and stabilize the sector’s operations on Wednesday." /2
Additionally, the "Child Care for Economic Recovery Act, includes a number of tax provisions that are aimed at making child care more affordable for families and providing assistance to child-care providers." /3
