3 Statewide gun violence prevention measures

Saved 4 elementary schools from closure

In 2023, we passed three gun violence prevention laws through the Washington Legislature:

  • Ban on Assault Weapons

  • Waiting Periods and Training Requirements

  • Measures to Hold Gun Manufactures Accountable

“Our amendment to increase the “Amazon Tax” by $20 million to fund more public school counselor and mental health positions passed, 5 to 4.

“In the coming years, these funds will help provide crucial support to school students. It will save lives. And even better, this $20 million in funding came not from taking money from other vital city programs, but by increasing a tax on Amazon and the wealthiest businesses in Seattle”

November 21, 2023

the Seattle City Council voted to pass our amendment of $20 Million of progressive funding for Mental Health Counselors in schools.
