||| FROM ORCAS ISLAND PRIDE |||


So much of what we do as a Pride organization is centered around joy – but even we must sometimes contend with the reality that our rights are being threatened and actively being repealed in parts of the country.

Many people like to think that Washington, and our little idyllic islands, are immune from the horrifying things happening in other states.

Unfortunately, even here, in Washington state, which is considered a “sanctuary state” by many, anti-trans bills have been introduced.

Did you know there is a single billionaire pushing to eliminate critical healthcare, education and childcare funds, and attacking trans youth this November on the ballot? Are you curious where local candidates stand on the issues that matter to our community?

Join Orcas Pride, Orcas Rising, and Orcas Women’s Coalition to learn more about this year’s local elections and ballot measures.

Tuesday, October 6th
Parish Hall, Emmanuel Episcopal Church
5:30PM – 7:00PM

Childcare and Spanish interpretation available as needed. For more information, or to volunteer, email orcasislandpride@gmail.com

We urge you to please, please, PLEASE vote against these ballot measures!
