Breaking: Victory - Washington Senate Kills Anti-Transgender Bill!
In a close 25-24 vote, the Washington Senate today shut down an anti-transgender bill, SB 6443, that would have undone the state’s regulations that ensure transgender people are able to use the facilities that match their gender identity.
Thanks to the 22 Senate Democrats and Republican Senators @stevelitzow, @SenatorAndyHill, and @senatorfain for voting against harmful SB6443
