Donald Trump’s administration falsely labeled birth control as “abortion.” And then they wanted to LITERALLY set millions of dollars' worth of contraception on FIRE. Contraception is under attack, too. We’ve got to speak up and fight back.

Under I-001, schools would be required to release students' confidential information to parents. This initiative will discourage many students facing domestic violence, sexual abuse or bullying from seeking help from trusted school counselors. Vote NO on I-001 this November. #NoHateWAState
Linden Jordan, a man from Marblemount, WA, sits on a brown leather couch in front of a green plant. He is wearing a blue and gray plaid shirt. On top of the photo, a quote from his Letter to the Editor is written in white. It reads: “These children need a right to privacy. Vote NO on I-001.” At the bottom of the image, a white box displays the headline and news outlet. It says, “Skagit Valley Herald. Letter: Initiative 26-001 would be harmful to children.

Growing up with an abusive mother, Gabriel Neuman writes that having access to school counselors and a safe space when he was young helped save his life. Under I-001, child abuse victims like Neuman will be put at greater risk of harm and abuse. This November, vote NO on I-001. #NoHateWAState
A photo of Gabriel Neuman fills the top half of the image. He has short blond hair, is wearing glasses, and is looking directly at the camera with a wide smile. On top of the lower part of her photo, a text box quotes his letter to the editor: “The Stranger. Letter: School Counselors Saved Me from Abuse. "For kids who are gay or trans, I-001 will have a chilling effect during a time when more and more youth are experiencing serious mental health issues." He is credited: Gabriel Neuman, Seattle, WA.

November ballot initiatives I-001 & I-638 will threaten the safety of all Washington students. I-001 puts kids at greater risk of abuse, while I-638 could force invasive genital exams on girls of any age just to play sports. Vote NO on I-001 and I-638 this November. #NoHateWAState
A photo shows eight high school students from across an orange-brown school track. The students are mixed gender and race. They are standing in a line looking at the camera, and each teen is holding a sign that says “No Hate in WA State: Vote NO on I-001 & I-638.” Behind the students is a black chain link fence and brown brick wall with ivy growing on it.

The fact is, Washington sports physical forms and sports eligibility forms do not require children to be genitally inspected or sex certified. I-638 will change that by instituting a new, strict requirement that all girls be sex inspected. Vote NO on I-638 this November. #NoHateWAState

White text boxes are on top of a purple-filtered photo of teen girl kicking a soccer ball. The first text box says: Spokesman Review Letter to the Editor: Pelvic Exams in Girls Sports. The Author is listed as Kevin Glover, MD, Spokane, WA. The second text box quotes the letter to the editor: “The pelvic exam proposal is especially perverse. All major organizations (ACOG, AAFP, USPSTF, AMSSM) advise against routine pelvic exams for asymptomatic adolescent females. Heywood’s dangerous idea risks direct harm to Washington’s girls; let them play without expensive tests or invasive exams.” A dark purple footer with white text says Vote NO on I-638.

At a time when youth depression is at record highs and more than half of teenagers experience anxiety or depression, it makes no sense to change longstanding state laws in a way that could discourage struggling youth from seeking help. Vote NO on I-001 when your ballot arrives. #NoHateWAState
A quote is written in white text on a dark orange background: “I-001 will deprive K-12 students of their right to have private conversations with school counselors and social workers. This removes a vital mental health resource from our kids who are at high risk already.” Below the quote is the author’s info: Linden Jordan, PFLAG Skagit Community Educator. This is written next to a small circular photo of Linden. He has gray hair and glasses and is smiling at the camera while on a hike in the forest. A red footer with white text says “Vote NO on I-001.”
