Women are paid 84 cents for every $1 paid to men — that gap is even worse for women of color & women with disabilities. While the #WALeg has passed bills like the Equal Pay Opportunity Act, we know there is still much to do and will keep fighting for #PayEquity. #EqualPayDay

Proud to be a member and who passed legislation to extend our state cap on insulin #waLeg #healthEquity

Accessible insulin saves lives. It’s a topic we’ve long worked with @LillyPad on.
Thanks to @POTUS’s efforts to seal the deal, most Lilly insulin is now 70% cheaper and the Insulin Value Program is expanded, capping cost at $35/month for many.

Alarming new polling shows *half of WA healthcare workers* are likely to quit in the next few years. Among those, 68% said said short-staffing was a primary reason. We need #waleg to reduce burnout & improve safety by passing #safestaffing standards. More: wasafeandhealthy.com/news/poll-half

The CEO of Microsoft’s salary was $55 MILLION in 2022, 10% more than in 2021.
Clearly, laying off 10,000 employees wasn’t the only answer to cut costs.

In the midst of tragedy in Colorado Springs comes a story of courage, a few brave individuals saving lives and putting themselves in danger for others. The same brave spirit from Stonewall and so many other moments of liberation. We mourn the lost and celebrate the defiant ones.
