@governorferguson.bsky.social doesn't mind keeping up with WA's cost of living when it comes to his own pay. So why is he stagnating the wages of the public employees who actually keep the state running? Call 360-902-4111 and tell him you want a #FairContractNow for Washington's state employees!

Tell @governorferguson.bsky.social and OFM that we need revenue, not austerity! Layoffs and program cuts will only hurt Washington State. wfse.org/dcyf/FundWA4... @wfselocal889.bsky.social @wfse.org @seattletimes.com #FairContractNow #FundWA4Kids #taxtherich #amazon #spheres #Seattle #Washington

Doll representing a child with the following text:

"Governor Ferguson says he plans to cut state programs. That means slashing services Washington's kids depend on every single day.

Children's Services
Environments and Parks
Economic Safety Net
Safe Workplaces
Paid Family Leave
Disability Supports
Robust Public Health
Quality Higher Education
Secure Roads and Infrastructure
Housing for Youth

A strong contact for state employees is an investment in Washington's people. Funny leave Washington's kids hanging. Tell Ferguson and his Office of Financial Management to #FundWA4Kids and invest in a #FairContractNow. Learn more at https://wfse.org/dcyf/FundWA4Kids."

While I am uncomfortable with Theo Angelis' corporate background, I'm also alarmed by Sharonda Amamilo's attitude towards my WFSE siblings at DCYF. Being a case worker is a tough job and they deserve better. Vote Angelis for WA Supreme Court position 5. @wfse.org #wfse @wfselocal889.bsky.social

WFSE Local 889 @wfselocal889.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Washington's kids cant afford Judge Amamilo to be elected to State Supreme Court. In a high-level meeting to talk about how to stop the explosion of child deaths in WA, she blamed the deaths on state caseworkers being "stupid." Challenged on this, she stormed out of the meeting. Unacceptable.

Support staff keep WA running and it’s time to fight for them. Governor Ferguson can order OFM to honor the raises we negotiated. Call 360-902-4111 to tell Ferguson to make OFM do the right thing. Send a letter actionnetwork.org/letters/gov-... #SupportStaffSupportUsAll #FairContract

There’s still time to call the Governor and tell him to honor negotiated raises for secretaries in state government! Support staff keep Washington running, and this is the first targeted increase they’ve received in over a decade. Text SECRETARY to 237263 to get all the info and take action!

Have you called Governor Ferguson today? His Office of Financial Management is denying those in the secretary job classes their negotiated pay raises. Call 360-902-4111 to tell Ferguson to make OFM do the right thing, or send a letter actionnetwork.org/letters/gov-... #SupportStaffSupportUsAll

This #WaLeg budget involved harmful cuts to be sure, but we were fortunate to weed out many of the worst of them. @governorferguson.bsky.social's resistance to revenue reform is the reason for all of them and all our focus now must be on pressuring him to sign this compromise into law. 360-902-4111!

Screenshot of an Instagram story with text reading:

"@govferguson alluding to his heel-digging on revenue that caused immense fear (and in the end, some substantial harm) this session. All pressure now should be laser focused on him."

After this, images of a caption from an Instagram post by Bob Ferguson saying:

"I want to thank our legislators, staff and my team, for all their hard work this session as we faced a $16 billion budget shortfall. I look forward to carefully reviewing the budgets line by line over the next few weeks. When that review is complete, I will share my thoughts with the public in greater detail.

Throughout this budget process, I have also insisted that the Legislature take a balanced approach to solving the $16 billion shortfall. That is why I rejected an initial proposal to raise $21 billion in taxes. I then rejected a subsequent $12 billion tax proposal as unsustainable. I appreciate that the Legislature heard my concerns and dramatically reduced the revenue assumed in the final budget. That said, I intend to carefully review all revenue increases."

Large text after this reads:

"Save 360-902-4111 in your favorites..."
