WHY SIGN YOUR NAME?
$10 BILLION REASONS to SIGN YOUR NAME and urge Governor Inslee to IMMEDIATELY sign an "EQUITY NOW!"
WHY EQUITY NOW!?
"$10 BILLION'S BEEN WIRED, BUT WE'RE NOT GETTING HIRED! THAT'S WHY WE NEED EQUITY NOW!"
According to the Spokane Spokesman Review, last March when President Biden signed the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, Washington state received more than $10 BILLION new dollars in federal pandemic funds broken down as follows:
$7.1 Billion: State & Local Governments
$1.9 Billion: K-12 Public School Districts
$655 Million: Higher Education
$635 Million: Child Care
$10.29 BILLION - TOTAL WA STATE "AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN" FUNDING
Unless Governor Inslee IMMEDIATELY signs the EQUITY NOW! EXECUTIVE ORDER, this $10 Billion for schools, jobs, child care and contracts will be awarded this year based on Governor's Directive 98-01's Anti-Affirmative Action interpretation of I-200, instead of the correct "EQUITY NOW! Affirmative Action policies in Governor Inslee's Executive Order.
In other words, "$10 BILLION HAS BEEN WIRED, BUT WE'RE NOT GETTING HIRED, UNLESS GOV. INSLEE SIGN'S THE "EQUITY NOW!" EXECUTIVE ORDER....IMMEDIATELY!
PLEASE SIGN YOUR NAME TO URGE GOVERNOR INSLEE TO SIGN AN EQUITY NOW! EXECUTIVE ORDER RESCINDING GOVERNOR'S DIRECTIVE 98-01, SO WASHINGTON CAN DELIVER EQUITY FOR ALL!
