I-638 would require girls in Washington to undergo medical s*x certification as part of their sports physicals, and it would ban parents from using a birth certificate as proof of s*x. Girls would be singled out. 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Sports should be 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒔, not environments of surveillance and shame. Every girl in Washington deserves to play, compete, and grow without fear.

Black women have always built the ballot — from our grandmothers who laid the blueprint to the organizers mobilizing our communities today. 🖤✨

This October, BWELL is moving in Power In Action, and we need you in the work with us. Every graphic in this series is a reminder that political power at BWELL is collective, relational, and rooted in Black women leading with truth, care, and strategy.

We’re calling in volunteers who want to:
• Help mobilize our neighborhoods to vote
• Support community door‑knocking in New Holly + Skyway
• Welcome folks at our King County Election Town Hall
• Be trusted messengers who help our people feel confident about voting
• Build the ballot with intention, clarity, and community

And on Saturday, 10/10, we gather for the King County Election Town Hall — a space to meet candidates, ask real questions, and stay grounded in the issues shaping our families and futures.
Free entry. Free lunch. Free childcare with RSVP.
Community power in one room. Your voice matters. 🗳️💛

If you’ve been looking for a way to plug in, this is it.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.
If you’ve been wanting to show up for Black women, this is it.
