Hi team — Since the 2021 legislative session began in January, Senate Democrats have been hard at work on their key priorities — including racial equity and police reform, COVID relief and response, and tackling the climate crisis.
The past few months have been busy for WA Senate Democrats. Our Senate Dems took on the challenge of a virtual session and delivered critical relief to thousands of Washingtonians — and were successful: our state’s economy has weathered the pandemic better than any other!
The 2021 legislative session ended yesterday, and we are thrilled to share some accomplishments WA Senate Democrats made this year in our newsletter! Thank you for staying connected and taking action on so many important issues with us.
— Adam, Katy, Malorie and the whole team at Washington Senate Democratic Campaign
# [#] We celebrated Earth Day this month!
Here in Washington — where our natural resources and outdoor spaces are home to tens of thousands of species of wildlife that are at severe risk from the climate crisis — our Democratic leaders have passed some of the most forceful bills to support our planet.
The Senate has passed bills to protect our local wildlife, fight climate change, and address environmental injustice.
Climate scientists agree that we must act now if we want to save our planet from the ravages of the climate crisis.
Take action for our planet!ADD YOUR NAME [[link removed]]

The legislative session came to a close yesterday, so let’s take a look at some of the impactful legislation our Senate Democrats passed to support Washingtonians and our state! *
The
legislature
passed
a
bill
introduced
by
Sen.
Mona
Das
to
combat
institutional
racism
in
education
by
providing
diversity
and
anti-racism
training
for
our
school
administrators
and
staff
—
introducing
trainings
to
promote
equity
throughout
our
state’s
public
schools.
*
Washingtonians
have
been
hit
hard
by
the
pandemic,
but
our
members
committed
to
ensuring
businesses
stay
afloat,
employees
are
supported,
and
families
keep
food
on
the
table.
The
legislature
passed
a
bill
that
will
support
businesses
across
Washington
with
the
funding
they
need
—
and
this
bill
was
part
of
an
even
bigger
relief
package
that
will
expand
testing
and
vaccinations,
deliver
much-needed
support
to
our
schools
and
students,
and
help
thousands
of
Washingtonians
meet
their
basic
needs,
like
food
assistance.

The
legislature
passed
a
bill
introduced
by
Sen.
June
Robinson
that
will
establish
a
tax
on
capital
gains
to
rebuild
Washington’s
upside-down
tax
system.
This
will
raise
millions
a
year
for
critically
important
childcare
and
early
childhood
education
programs
while
providing
tax
relief
for
working
families.
*
Sen.
Saldaña’s
HEAL
Act
passed
through
the
Senate
and
the

This

justice
council,
and
more.
*
The
legislature
passed
a
police
accountability
bill
introduced
by
Sen.
Manka
Dhingra
that
will
expand
oversight
of
law
enforcement
by
requiring
police
officers
to
intervene
if
a
fellow
officer
uses
excessive
force.
These bills above are only a few of the many pieces of legislation Washington Senate Democrats have passed this session because of bold and thoughtful leadership. And we couldn’t have done it without input from supporters like you!
