Earlier this year, the Green Party endorsed the No Hate campaign to oppose Brian Heywood’s transphobic, homophobic, and misogynistic initiatives I-001 and I-638.
Now Greens have a chance to put our endorsement into action: This coming Monday, Aug 17th, at their 7 pm meeting, the Shoreline City Council will vote on proposed Resolution 567 to oppose Brian Heywood’s terrible initiatives, as originally requested at the Shoreline Pride Raising event.
Mountlake Terrace will also be taking up this resolution on Sept 3rd (CM Sam Doyle leading). We need to show both councils that the community supports them taking this stand against Brian Heywood’s extremism.
Help us mobilize supporters to show the Shoreline City Council that we support them taking this stand. You can also provide online public comment by 4 pm that day. This is a great opportunity to see local direct action organizing in action, if you’re new to it!
Tacoma also passed its own resolution a couple of weeks ago, setting an excellent precedent, and Mountlake Terrace CM Sam Doyle let CM Chris Eck (Edmonds) and Isabel Mata (Lynnwood) know about this endeavor. Councilmember Jon Culver (Kenmore) and Mayor Sarah Arndt (Woodinville) have also shown interest. The No Hate campaign has also contacted Seattle CM Dionne Foster.
The more local community members who organize to support these efforts to pass local resolutions, the more likely they are to happen!
Please sign and share the No Hate model resolution online petition with your friends/contacts to grow our power and spread this to more cities, especially if you’re in any of the above-listed cities.
Thanks so much for your commitment to a better world! One free from the bigotry of people like Brian Heywood…

Participate as you are comfortable, from just being present to speaking at public comment! It’s most important that folks show up. If you’d like to speak, it’s always best to speak from the heart about why this is important to you, and end with the simple ask: “Please pass this resolution tonight.” We ask that you please write comments and speak respectfully.
In solidarity,
