I’m standing with @sbworkersunited.org on strike for living wages, respect and basic dignity in the face of corporate greed and you should too. Until they get a contract, I’m not buying Starbucks coffee! Join me in signing the #NoContractNoCoffee pledge at nocontractnocoffee.org/#pledge!

ICYMI - I am so pleased to announce some of the investments I was able to secure, with the support of my colleagues and the great leadership of Budget Chair Dembowski! First priority area - Housing & Homelessness!

I’m proud that my colleagues and I passed a budget that shores up our social safety net in the face of federal threats.

I am thankful to my colleagues for our collective work to ensure this budget serves as a statement of our values, and shows the residents of King County that we have their backs!

Thanks @king5news.com.web.brid.gy for this coverage. Many will be looking to local and state governments to fill these gaps in absolutely critical housing investments.

Just a reminder in case any interested folks were listening on @fox13seattle.bsky.social 😉 the West Seattle Light Rail forum is postponed to NEXT WEEK!

If you go to Youngstown Cultural Arts Cen. tonight, you’ll only find jazzercise—which is also fun, but a different kind of fun than transit talk!

“Let me be clear: we are not facing this alone. Seattle, King County, our state and federal delegations, our provider partners, and advocates have shown time and again what strong regional partnership looks like — we have built these programs together, and we will defend them together.”

How about instead of selling "bearista" cups, Starbucks bargains a fair contract with its unionized baristas? No contract. No coffee. Don't cross the picket line. Solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org
Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I'm the 4th District 8 Councilmember Harborview Medical Center Trustee Clayton Lewis has served under. He's helped steward this vital County resource for over 21 years and we recognized him today with a proclamation. Thank you for all you've done Clayton! @uwmedicine.bsky.social @kingcounty.gov

Thrilled to see how the over $790,000 our office secured for Lifelong💜 is being put to work to feed our County's community in need of healthy, healing and delicious meals. What a beautiful kitchen, and even more beautiful chefs and volunteers who make these meals possible! #FoodisMedicine 💜

Standing with @wsna.bsky.social to demand a fair contract with @seattlechildrens.org. These nurses are caregivers for our most vulnerable community and family members. They deserve a fair contract, rest and meal breaks, and fair wages — NOW!
