The next generation deserves to have their privacy protected.

I’m fighting for the privacy rights of our children in HB 1627. “The bill aims to reset rules of road for parents who profit off of pictures & video of their children through branded content.” npr.org/2023/07/06/118… WA House Democrats

We are the first state in the country to take this on, we won’t be the last. I am proud of the young folks leading this charge to protect our kids’ privacy & put sideboards around #sharenting for future generations in the glare of social media spotlights. rnz.co.nz/national/progr…

Huge thanks to The NewDEAL & Ryan for hosting me. I am passionate about public service & Gov’t as a force for good. I’m committed to promoting political institutions as places that need to work better for women & POCs so our democracy works best for us all!

Spending the afternoon in “listening mode” to youth voice with experience in foster care and/or homelessness on amazing opportunities for change to a system not working for everyone. Thanks to Mockingbird Society for hosting this important conversation! #ListenMore #LovingAwareness

Last #waleg session passed law to protect Orcas. Today, grateful to Erin of Pacific Whale Watch Association 🐳 & Capt. Brian for hosting & educating on important work happening in Puget Sound to protect orcas through data-sharing, boater education, and ecosystem restoration & protection. 🐋 ♥️

Only you can prevent wildfires! Don’t fly drones near wildfires.

Short-term support for #childcare has hit a cliff. We need economic & educational recovery that leaves no 1️⃣ behind, especially our kiddos. #childcare4all will help get us there. SEIU Local 925 Child Care Action Council AWB Institute Child Care Aware of Washington Children's Alliance washingtonpost.com/business/2023/…

I'm proud to champion #childcare access & affordability in #waleg. Fair Start for Kids was solid win, but we must get to #universalchildcare if we are to ensure economic recovery & opportunity for all in WA. I will continue to push us in that direction! seattletimes.com/opinion/we-mus…

Proud to join the Federal Way High School Latinx Club in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! Thanks for inviting me to share my story as a Afro-Latina elected official & the work I am doing to fight for a future that includes us all! #hispanicheritagemonth #fwps

Such an amazing experience today with Federal Way High School & the #LatinosUnidos leaders in celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth2023! These students are engaged & care deeply about our future! Proud to be fighting for a future that includes us all!

Humbled to join #CityofAlgona in honoring Mayor David Hill for his leadership by naming this wetland in his name. Thx to Sen. Claire Wilson for partnership in securing $600k in Capitol budget to protect & preserve this land on behalf of our neighbors!

Joined City of Pacific WA in honoring our #veterans w/memorial dedication; joined by WA State Treasurer #MikeP, Congressman Rep. Adam Smith, and my kids as we pay tribute to those who’ve served our country & our community. #NeverForget #VeteransDay2023 #militaryfamily

It has been a full first day of the 2024 #waleg session! From citizen legislator to #workingmom to grad student, we are doing the work to make things work better for you! I represent you best when I know what matters most to you & your family! Please 📝, ☎️, 📧, 🐥 or 💬 anytime!

Great visit from community health advocates to promote youth access to mental health supports! Big thx to these leaders for joining me to fight for our kids & their future! UW Pediatrics

Members of the Washington State Legislative Black Caucus (LBC) announce their endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris to be the 47th President of the United States. lynnwoodtimes.com/2024/07/22/bla… Washington Democrats Rep April Berg Rep. Kristine Reeves, D-WA (Unofficial) T'wina Nobles

I’m evidence of that promise & its future. Accountability in how we recount history of the founding of our country is the most patriotic thing I can offer as an American. So, when we “celebrate” 250 years, we recognize our WHOLE history, not just the “yt-washed” parts.

Yesterday we launched the campaign to get rid of flavored tobacco products in Washington State! It was great to hear from bill sponsor Rep. Kristine Reeves, D-WA (Unofficial), Tacoma NAACP's Jonathan Johnson, youth advocates and community members supporting this life-saving policy. king5.com/video/news/com…
