Statewide Ballot Issues (On your Ballot in the November General Election):
Vote NO on Initiative 2124 – Don’t Take Away Washington’s Long-term Care Benefit Fund:
I-2124 will hurt working women and working class families by eliminating Washington’s long-term care insurance program. It takes support away from family caregivers who are helping loved ones with a disability, or who are sick or aging, increases out of pocket expenses, and throws us back into the costly insurance market. I-2124’s backers say their initiative helps people, but the truth is it will make things more expensive for women and working families.
I-2124 hurts working women the most. It will cause more people, mostly women, to leave their jobs to provide unpaid care for loved ones with disabilities, or who are sick or aging, by shutting down Washington’s long-term care benefit fund for 3.2 million working Washingtonians.
By ending Washington’s long-term care insurance program, I-2124 increases costs, increases debt, and throw us back into the expensive private insurance market, which leaves out people with cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and other pre-existing conditions.
I-2124 is opposed by Washington State Nurses Association, the MS Society, health organizations, doctors, nurses, and workers’ unions representing home health care workers, grocery workers, and more.
Vote NO on Initiative 2109 – Stop Cuts to Childcare and Education Funding:
I-2109 puts more tax pressure on the rest of us. It carves out a tax cut for a handful of people – fewer than 4,000 wealthy households – shifting more tax responsibility on middle and low income Washingtonians who are already paying the biggest share – up to 17% of their incomes – in state and local taxes.
The Children’s Alliance, Save The Children Action Fund, MomsRising, and many more oppose I-2109 because it will cut more than $5 billion over 6 years from education, worsening Washington’s childcare and school funding crisis from Seattle to Wenatchee.
Vote NO on Initiative 2117 – Protect Our Air and Water, Forests and Farmland, Jobs and Transportation Investments:
I-2117 would roll back protections for our air and water, forests and farmlands, and jobs and transportation investments. It would also allow more toxic air pollution, make our drinking water less safe, and mean more kids and adults with asthma and illness in Washington.
Furthermore, I-2117 would also put transit service, ferries and road projects across Washington at risk by punching a major hole in our state’s already strained transportation budget. Instead of a fee on pollution being paid by a few major polluters, I-2117 would shift the burden of paying for pollution’s impacts back onto workers, families and our communities. Vote NO and Protect the 2021 Washington Climate Commitment Act (CCA).
Vote NO on Initiative 2066 – Protect Our Communities from Higher Energy Costs and Climate Vulnerability:
I-2066 would attack energy efficiency by repealing common-sense protections, leading to higher energy costs and making our communities more vulnerable during storms, wildfires, and deadly heat waves. This initiative is part of a nationwide scheme by well-funded interest groups aiming to stop the transition to clean energy and maximize their profits while families and businesses bear the financial burden. Vote NO to protect our communities and keep energy costs in check.
