Republicans Might Win, Democrats have no plan for anything in life, Green Party members are just people who actually care about people, while the people give them the exact opposite.

My opinion is that good leaders can happen if we adopt a parliamentary state system:

Hi there, I work at Seattle-based radio station, KUOW. We’re hosting a community program with StoryCorps called One Small Step. We know how frustrated many people feel about the political divisiveness of the last few years, and what excites us about One Small Step is it offers people a concrete step that they can take to help be a part of a solution. The idea is to help reconnect Americans through one-on-one conversations.

How it works:

We’re inviting Washington residents to meet a fellow community member with different views or beliefs from them for a personal, 50-minute conversation to learn about each other’s lives. Conversations are hosted by a trained staff facilitator, and although they’re recorded, there’s no obligation for participants to share the recording (or even use their name).

The goal is 100% about providing community members the experience of safely meeting someone different from them who they might never otherwise connect with. Conversations aren't a debate. They're just a chance for two people to break the ice and talk about who they are as people, what they care about, and their dreams for the future.

If you’re interested, you can check out our website, which has an extensive FAQ about how we approach matching you with a partner and what the experience is like, and there are example videos of how the conversations go. People (including you!) can sign up by filling out a short questionnaire about themselves and why they want to participate. Our station will be reviewing these responses and matching people through to the end of this year.

Am interested for a politics research project, all advice is appreciated

She seems to have difficulty juggling all her conflicting priorities. Sounds like it’s time to simplify her life by relieving her of some of those obligations next year (she’s up for re-election in 2022).

There has been a new bill introduced in the Washington State Legislature called HB 1109, which would provide a number a positive reforms for survivors of sexual assault. It's currently being voted on in the Washington State House. If this gets passed in Washington, it could lay the groundwork for similar reforms to happen in states nationwide.

HB 1109 changes training and investigatory practices for law enforcement around sexual violence issues. it also provides survivors with free forensic examinations, access to sexual assault advocates, and a written notice of their rights as survivors. The bill also mandates timely updates on the status of the case and requires law enforcement to report on status updates of the case, as well as submit semiannual reports on investigations.

This is huge as many sexual violence cases don't provide proper resources for the victims, as well as lack transparency about the status of the case. It also makes law enforcement take these cases more seriously, and perform proper investigations and prosecutions.

I am sharing an email campaign to inform WA State officials about the support for this bill. So if you are in WA State please use the link below to send this out to your representatives!

https://modernaction.io/send_cause/pass-washington-house-bill-1109 (if you are sending this you must use your real address, this is because the website needs it to locate what representatives to send it to)

If you aren't in WA State, then please checkout Youth Against Sexual Violence (https://natyasv.org), they are the group organizing the campaign through the Modern Action platform. They have some good info about sexual violence issues in the country!

Let's keep fighting!
