Oppose Dangerous Initiatives
While costs are skyrocketing and our country is divided, a right-wing mega-millionaire from California – Brian Heywood – wants to distract you from real problems by attacking vulnerable kids, especially LGBTQ+ students. He is using out-of-state paid signature gatherers to promote poorly written initiatives that will threaten the safety of all Washington students, putting them at greater risk of abuse at home and at school.
Decline to Sign: Safety Act Repeal (IL26-001)
We all believe parents should be involved in their children’s lives at school, but this poorly written initiative increases the risk of abuse for all students. While most parents are loving and supportive, the sad reality is not all kids are safe at home and need to turn to a trusted teacher or counselor for help. This one-size-fits-all initiative would take away that lifeline at a time when youth mental illness is at record highs.
Decline to Sign: Invasive Genital Exams on Girls (IL26-638)
This initiative would force invasive physical exams of “reproductive organs” on all girls as young as 11 for them to play sports, putting them at risk of sexual abuse, violating their privacy, and discouraging girls from the benefits of being on a team. Boys would be exempt. It’s true some people have a difficult time understanding what it means to be transgender, and we all want fairness and safety in sports. This is a complex issue that requires case-by-case solutions, as allowed by Washington’s successful policy in place since 2007, not mandating a blanket, statewide ban.
ACTION: If you come across these signature gatherers, remember to decline to sign, and educate those around you on what is really at stake! Sign the pledge at: Decline to Sign | Join the Fight — Act Now — Washington Families for Freedom
