WSDCC – November 17, 2024

Posted on November 17, 2024

Dear friend,

Under Shasti Conrad’s leadership, Washington Democrats delivered the strongest Democratic performance in the nation. That’s no small feat – and it’s a testament to her vision, hard work, and the incredible dedication of everyone who joined this fight.

We have a little secret… Today is Shasti’s birthday, and we’re planning a surprise to show her just how much her leadership as Chair means to all of us. 

We’re putting together a birthday card filled with messages from folks across Washington, and we’d love for you to help make her day extra special. Will you take a moment to sign her card? We’ll be reading your responses to her as part of the surprise!

SIGN THE B-DAY CARD

Thank you for helping us celebrate Shasti’s incredible leadership and dedication to making Washington a beacon of progress. But remember – this is a secret, so let’s keep it between us for now. Shhh! 🤫

With gratitude,
The Washington Democrats Staff

📉 Only one in six Tri-Citians voted in the last election. That means a small, organized few are deciding our community’s future, from schools to housing to health care. It’s not that people don’t care. Life gets busy, and voting can fall off the radar. But when turnout is this low, the loudest voices win, not the majority. 🗳️ Check your registration. 📬 Watch for your ballot. 📢 Remind your friends. Because when more of us vote, we decide our future. 👉 VoteWA.gov #getoutthevote #indivisibletricitieswa

    October 18, 2025  10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
    1st Avenue & Vintage Valley Parkway Zillah, WA 98953

    **In Zillah, we don’t put up with would-be kings. Come out and let your neighbors know they aren’t alone.

    Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

    The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

    A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

    Across Benton and Franklin Counties, the need is growing—but the resources aren’t. Government agencies and nonprofit organizations work tirelessly to provide shelter, food, addiction recovery, and mental health support. Yet even their combined efforts fall short of meeting the full scope of the crisis.

    So, what happens when the system can’t reach everyone? What do we do when the need shows up not in a spreadsheet, but on the corner holding a cardboard sign? We'll consider that question and more at our WEDNESDAY, October 22 Forum.
