Community Voices shares statements from neighbors across our four counties. This election season, know the facts before you vote. 🧡

“As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community who has raised my son right here in the Chelan Valley, and through years of local nonprofit work and volunteering, I’ve experienced firsthand the heavy toll that intrusive policies and political targeting take on a person’s spirit, mental health, and sense of safety.

For me, protecting children is deeply personal. Our greatest calling as parents is to wrap our kids in safety, love, and a true sense of belonging. Inviting unnecessary scrutiny and hardship into young lives only threatens the simple joy and freedom that students find in youth sports.

Before getting caught up in the noise, I hope my neighbors will look closely at what these mandates mean for our children’s privacy and peace of mind. My hope is that we continue to give our kids the grace and space they deserve to just be kids.”

«Voces de la comunidad» comparte declaraciones de vecinos de nuestros cuatro condados. En esta temporada electoral, infórmese bien antes de votar. 🧡

«Como miembro de la comunidad LGBTQIA+ que ha criado a su hijo aquí mismo, en el valle de Chelan, y tras años de trabajo en organizaciones locales sin fines de lucro y voluntariado, he vivido en carne propia el grave impacto que las políticas intrusivas y la persecución política tienen en el espíritu, la salud mental y la sensación de seguridad de una persona.

Para mí, proteger a los niños es algo profundamente personal. Nuestra mayor misión como padres es rodear a nuestros hijos de seguridad, amor y un verdadero sentido de pertenencia. Someter las vidas de los jóvenes a un escrutinio innecesario y a dificultades solo amenaza la alegría sencilla y la libertad que los estudiantes encuentran en el deporte juvenil.

Antes de dejarse llevar por el ruido, espero que mis vecinos analicen detenidamente lo que estas medidas implican para la privacidad y la tranquilidad de nuestros hijos. Mi deseo es que sigamos brindándoles a nuestros hijos la comprensión y el espacio que merecen para simplemente ser niños».

Our country was built by people who fought not just for their rights, but also the rights of others. This fall you have the chance to fight for the rights of others with your ballot. Before you vote on the ambiguously-written anti-trans I-638 make sure to do your homework and be on the right side of history.

I-001 will make vulnerable children less safe and force school teachers and counselors to "out" LGBTQIA+ students. It's backed by multi-millionare Brian Heywood who wants to make it impossible for trans people to exist in Washington State. Get the facts before you vote.

The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians joined a growing list of Washington State leaders and organizations opposing I-001 and I-638. ATNI passed a resolution outlining the tribes’ strong opposition to both initiatives.

Seeding Justice Executive Director Se-ah-dom Edmo of the Shoshone-Bannock, Nez Perce, and Yakama Tribes said, “This is historic, it's not simply an endorsement of a political campaign, but a unified statement from Tribes across the Pacific Northwest: these measures do not reflect our values, and we will not stand by while our young people are used as political targets."

Jeff Evans is exactly the type misogynist that supports Brian Heywood’s initiatives.

I-638 and I-001 endanger children. They do not protect them.

While we educate voters about IL26-638 and its dangers to girls assigned female at birth people like Paul think it’s ok to talk to women like this.

These are the types of people that support IL26-638.

Paul has been banned from our page.

Don’t be like Paul.
