URGENT!! WA Call to Action
Remember HB 1333, aka the AG's attempt to combat "right wing extremism"?
We’ve been telling you about WA HB 1333 for the last two years. This bill would create a “Domestic Violent Extremism Task Force”. It did not pass during the 2023-24 sessions, but they did sneak it into the 2024 budget. I (Julie) just happened to stumble upon this information today when I was searching for something unrelated.
The Attorney General’s office was awarded $247,000 in the 2024 budget to create a task force to devise a statewide approach to combating political extremism and mass violence. This task force achieves a similar objective to HB 1333, but was able to be funded quietly during an election year and clearly, slipped through the cracks. The budget is 899 pages, but still…this is a big deal.
The first meeting of the task force is this Friday, November 22nd from 9am to noon. You can attend in person or via zoom. Please listen in on this meeting if you can. This is really important for citizens to be vocal about! Notice: the task force will submit a preliminary report to the GOVERNOR (of course Ferguson knew he would be installed as governor).
