The Fuse Fix: How To Make A Difference This Week

Thanks for checking out this week's edition of the Fuse Fix! You can find our video rundown of the week's best ways to take action here:  https://www.facebook.com/FuseWashington/videos/10156028037927103/

Here are the links to the actions we mentioned in the video:

What are CHIP, DACA, and the DREAM Act, anyway?

As progressives, it is our duty to remind congressional Republicans and Democrats alike that there are some issues that should never be up for political debate.

One Person, One Vote: The Need to Modernize Our Local Elections

Our democracy is strongest when everyone is engaged and has an opportunity to make their voice heard.

Voters have provided leadership during recent years of legislative gridlock by passing important progressive ballot measures. With Olympia stymied, voters have increasingly taken matters into their own hands at the ballot box by passing ballot measures on marriage equality, marijuana legalization, gun safety, paid sick leave and more.

The Air We Breathe

Across our state, Washingtonians are all paying the price for pollution - from extreme forest fires and droughts ravaging our farmlands to toxic air and water. These impacts are real for all of us. Every Eastern Washington resident can tell you about the fear of their home being burnt down, and every driver stuck behind a dirty diesel truck can tell you about the toxic fumes. However, some communities shoulder much more of the impact than others.

We built the world's commercial airline industry, we invented the personal computer, and we led the nation by voting for marriage equality, legalization of marijuana, and a $15 minimum wage. Yet today we're only one week away from making the wrong kind of history: the first government shutdown in the 126-year history of Washington state.

America’s comeback starts strong in Washington

As we celebrate great results, there’s one takeaway that stands out: this is just the beginning. We must build on these wins to make 2018 a year for progress in Washington state and our country. 

Unafraid and Unapologetic: Why I'm Voting for Teresa Mosqueda

Even in 2017 in a progressive city like Seattle, female candidates still run into the headwinds of misogyny.
