No Hate in WA State @nohateinwastate.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

On The View, soccer champ Megan Rapinoe brought attention to the dangers of WA's I-638, the most extreme MAGA measure of its kind in the US. "It's more than just a couple of trans kids being able to participate in youth sports. It's an attack on women." Vote NO on I-638 this November. #NoHateWAState
