It is important to celebrate art and creativity among youth, which is why I'm excited to recognize the artistic talent in my district through the Congressional Art Competition. Students in my district submitted their artwork and now it’s time to announce the winners.
Next week my office will host an art exhibition to showcase all the artwork we received and announce the winning entry, which will be hung in the United States Capitol.
The event will take place on Thursday, May 5 at McMicken Heights Elementary School at 5:30 PM PT. We hope to see you there. Learn more about the event: https://t.co/m29OsZ1Z4P
"The integrity of our operations." Quite a comment from someone who has, among other things, refused to recuse himself from cases surrounding the 2020 election, despite his own wife actively working to overturn the results. https://t.co/ZHHfjRMfvt
I wrote an op-ed for the @seattletimes about the need to reform police response and the success that 911 diversion programs could bring to communities across the country: https://t.co/v5jjMChR1x
Today, I'm pleased to welcome @SecBecerra to Washington State for a stop on the National Tour to Strengthen Mental Health to hear directly from Americans in our region about the mental health and wellness challenges they’re facing right now.
@SecBecerra I will first join @SecBecerra, @PattyMurray, @RepJayapal, and @RepKimSchrier on a tour of Crisis Connections, which will be a key partner in the transition to the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
988 will help enhance public safety, deliver better outcomes for community members, and reduce strain on the relationship between police officers and the people they are sworn to serve. This lifeline is a great resource for our community and our country.
Members of our community will be able to call 988 if they are witnessing or experiencing a mental health crisis. 988 will work in conjunction with 911 to ensure that trained professionals - such as social workers, paramedics, and peer support counselors - respond to the call.
That's why I authored the 911 Diversion to Unarmed Personnel Act, which would provide funding for unarmed crisis response teams that divert nonviolent 911 calls to specialized service providers who are better equipped to handle these calls.
I will first join @SecBecerra, @PattyMurray, @RepJayapal, and @RepKimSchrieron a tour of Crisis Connections, which will be a key partner in the transition to the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
1 in every 10 calls for police response involves a person suffering from a mental illness, and in most places around the U.S. operators have no choice but to deploy police officers to every scene, regardless of whether they are equipped or trained to handle these situations.
Thank you Efren and all other small business owners and entrepreneurs in Washington's Ninth District and across the country for your commitment to creating jobs, growing the economy, and strengthening our communities.
Efren began his businesses in 2012, sourcing fresh “green” coffee from African producers and exporters for distribution among Seattle-area retail stores. Now, @BoonBoonaCoffee roasts more than 100,000 pounds of coffee per year and employs a staff of 20 across two locations.
All this has been done with an environmental justice lens, launching efforts to serve communities that have been disproportionately overburdened by the impacts of climate change, including $50 million specifically for critical @EPA environmental justice initiatives.
Last year, Congress passed & @POTUS signed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, representing the largest investment ever in power grid upgrades & clean energy, EV charging stations, clean transportation, pollution clean-up, clean water & lead pipe replacement, & climate resilience.
.@POTUS has restored our global climate leadership and taken a whole-of-government approach across all sectors to generate record levels of clean energy, electrify our infrastructure, reduce emissions, clean up pollution, improve weather resiliency & conserve our wildlife.
The administration has set ambitious climate goals, including: -50% electric vehicle sales by 2030 -Reduce aviation emissions 20% by 2030 -Conserve 30% of U.S. lands & waters by 2030 -100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 203 -Reduce global methane emissions 30% by 2030
