Sorry to hear that. There are many of us! And I'm very proud to be part of the LGBTQ+ community. 🏳️🌈
(I should note: There are LGBTQ+ people on every news station in the Seattle market.)
Hope you have a great day!

A Black family in Seattle got their home appraised: $670,000.
3 weeks later, they took down their family photos and African art. A white neighbor stood in for the family when a new appraiser arrived.
New value: $929,000.

Many states don’t allow mail-in ballots to be counted before Election Day.
But many races can’t be called until mail-ins are counted, which can take over 24h.
This is normal, but some GOP are laying ground to claim any race not called tonight is suspicious. Don’t fall for it.

Naomi Oligario works at Safeway in Port Orchard, where she’s worked for 37 years! She’s also a member of the contract negotiations team.

While HJP fully supports Ord 2021-0131, we also believe in accuracy, whether or not it sways "in our favor." @RHAofWA provided false information to their members prior to the @KCCouncil meeting on 6/15 that led to some very angry landlords. Let's talk. #StayHousedStayHealthy 1/14

We are extremely disappointed in the four @CityofKent CMs that declined to extend an eviction moratorium that would protect their residents, who are predominantly BIPOC, immigrants and refugees, who are already evicted at disproportionate rates. #StayHousedStayHealthy

With just two weeks until the scheduled end of Washington state’s eviction moratorium, many renters and advocates fear tenants could be booted from their homes even as their relief applications sit waiting for review. bit.ly/3pVsQTV

Lots of landlords claiming they haven't made any profits while home value & equity in this area has consistently risen. We would love to see how much these landlords paid for their homes and how much they charge in rent. 👀 #StayHousedStayHealthy

As some of you may know, June is Pride Month. Here at HJP, we serve all renters, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. We believe that everyone deserves safe housing to live as their authentic selves & deprivation of that basic human necessity, 1/9

Today @ 2PM the Council is voting on 2 pieces of legislation, part of #TenantsBillofRights. To protect renters from evictions we're closing the lease termination loophole and providing a defense to eviction for renters who faced a financial hardship brought on by the pandemic.

We welcomed participants from Liberia, Namibia, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda & Zambia to our first virtual #PAYLP session yesterday! We're so excited for the next 4 weeks with them (& thx Violeta @WashingtonCAN for a great first virtual site visit!) @MeridianIntl @ECAatState

Every single person should have access to affordable care without having to jump through hoops to survive or paying expensive out of pocket co-pays and deductibles.
Take Action: Tell @BCBSAssociation affiliates it's time to put #CareOverCost. ➡️ careovercost.org

Here at HJP, like clockwork, we get calls from renters in a panic right before the moratorium is scheduled to lift. The pandemic has been stressful enough, we need to give folks stability and a sense of security. @GovInslee #StayHousedStayHealthy
At minimum, we need an extension through the end of the year. Renters are facing stress due to the short-term extensions. Give folks the peace of mind they need and the time to access rent relief resources. Take action to demand an extension: washingtoncan.salsalabs.org/…
