Vote “NO” in November

Queer Power Alliance believes our communities deserve leadership and institutions that build trust rather than erode it; that listen rather than silence; and that treat every person with dignity and respect.

Mega-millionaire hedge fund Brian Heywood is creating fear, division, and distrust with three dangerous initiatives.

Haywood and his right-wing allies want to defund our schools and social services, remove common-sense child abuse protections, and subject all girl athletes to invasive genital exams in an effort to ban trans girls in sports.

We must stand together and VOTE NO on these three harmful initiatives because our communities deserve better.

Visit Defend WA to learn about all three initiatives.

I-001

  • Removes common-sense school record protections for victims of child abuse.

  • Weakens parental notification requirements if their child is the victim of a crime.

  • Worsens the teen mental health crisis.

  • Forces school counselors and teachers to knowingly put LGBTQ+ students at risk of harm or homelessness.

I-638

  • Could force invasive genital exams on girls just to participate in elementary, middle, or high school sports.

  • The most extreme MAGA measure of its kind in the country and discriminates against all girls.

  • Takes decision-making power away from parents, schools, and athletic associations and excludes a tiny group of vulnerable children from sports.

I-645

  • Increased health care costs for Washington families

  • More cuts to child care — making it more expensive for more working families
