Congratulations to all our coalition partners who fought so hard, for years, to make this moment happen. To all our members who showed up and joined this fight. And thank you, Senator @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social, for championing this bill — and for the shout out. 🙏

As Senator @rebeccasaldana1.bsky.social said in yesterday’s hearing, saying YES to this bill means that Washington is making history “by becoming the 13th state that respects and includes domestic work as work that should have the same kind of rights and expectations as workers in other fields.”
