Members of WEA Retired joined Gov. Inslee and lawmakers today for the signing of SHB 1985 giving Plan 1 retirees a 3% Cost of Living Adjustment. WEA members' activism that made this possible! 🎉
As we look back on the 2024 legislative session, educators have a lot to celebrate and still lots to advocate for. What did we win? washingtonea.org/advocacy/ourvo…
Our advocacy works! The legislature's conference budget includes $72 million for ESP staffing and $20 million to increase Special Education funding. washingtonea.org/advocacy/ourvo…
BREAKING: HB 2180 passed unanimously off the Senate floor! The bill as amended raises the Special Education funding cap to 16% from the current 15%- a step in the right direction. Now it heads back to the House for concurrence.
This is a big deal! We emailed, rallied, lobbied, and... at 2am today the House passed SB 5882 and it's now just awaiting signatures to become law. The bill adds $70 Million to fund moreparaeducators, office support, and non-instructional aides. When we fight, WE WIN! 🎉🎉🎉
WEA leaders proudly stood with our labor siblings on Wednesday to advocate for HB 1893 to give unemployment insurance to striking workers.
With the House budget leaving out ESP staffing and pay, SB 5882 is the path to this much-needed funding. Email your legislators now! wea.mobi/SB washingtonstatestandard.com/2024/02/27/was…
UPDATE! Our messages worked - SB 5882 to increase funding for Education Support Professionals passed in House Appropriations today. Now it needs to pass off the House floor by Friday. Have you emailed your Representatives yet? wea.mobi/SB5882
Deadline to apply extended until Friday! Thinking of running for office? Don't miss this chance to get the tools and info you need to succeed!
Deadline to apply extended until Friday! Thinking of running for office? Don't miss this chance to get the tools and info you need to succeed!
On Sat., WA House Democrats voted down an amendment to add funding for paraeducator staffing to the House budget proposal. Now, SB 5882 is our last chance to get this funding. wea.mobi/SB5882
The Senate just passed HB 2331 to keep diverse, affirming books in public schools. It ensures districts have thoughtful policies & processes for complaints about books and that these policies align with anti-discrimination laws & our commitment to school diversity and inclusion.
School support staff need better staffing and better pay. Tell your Reps to fund ESPs in the budget: wea.mobi/fundparas news.yahoo.com/paraeducators-…
🚨🚨URGENT ACTION ALERT🚨🚨 The House's budget proposal does not fund ESP pay or staffing. 👎👎 Tell your Representatives to add funding to support ESPs, and thank your Senator for including funding for ESP staffing. Take action now! wea.mobi/fundparas
It's time for better staffing & better pay for Education Support Professionals! We joined with @AFTWA, @SEIU925, @PSEClassified, and Teamsters 763 to rally at the capitol, calling for legislators to fund ESP staffing & pay.
We are beginning to gather at the state Supreme Court steps to rally for ESP staffing & pay! 📢
It’s Lobby Day! WEA members from around the state are gathered in Olympia to share our experiences and let legislators know what our students need. 💪
WEA members from around the state are gathered in Olympia tonight to prepare for tomorrow’s lobby day and for rally for Education Support Professional staffing and pay. We are making sure legislators know what students, schools, and colleges need.

Time and time again, students tell us that personal connections with faculty and staff made all the difference in college and in their lives. Our colleges are losing outstanding employees to private industry. We need to keep talent on campuses to instruct, serve, uplift students.

It comes down to this: I-1929 is a tax cut for the super-rich. It rolls back taxes on billions of dollars in profits the super-rich get from hedge funds and the stock market. And it does so at the expense of children, including our students. #NoOn1929 washingtonea.org/advocacy/ourvo…
