Indivisible Sequim Legislative Action Alerts for the Week of February 2, 2026
There are several bills before the Washington State Legislature that need
your help THIS WEEK. Please review the list below, pick one or all of them,
and follow the instructions and links to make your voice heard.
Thank you! The Indivisible Sequim Legislative Action Team
Protecting Democracy
1) Support HB 1916 (Protecting Voter Registrations) Mass voter registration
challenges by right wing monied interests are threatening to disenfranchise voters. The
excuse is “fighting voter fraud”. This bill protects voters by requiring proof beyond a
reasonable doubt that the challenged voter is not qualified to vote and giving auditors
more power in throwing out false claims.
Contact a House member HERE asking them to pass HB 1916.
DEADLINE Tues. Feb. 3 at 3 pm.
2) Support SB 6081 (Protect Privacy of Changes to Gender Designation on Official
Documents) This bill protects Washingtonians from invasion of privacy, including the
unauthorized disclosure of sex designation information and historic sex designation
changes in official government records. Critically important for the transgender, intersex
and queer community.

DEADLINE: Tues. Feb. 3 at 3:00 pm.
3) Support HB 2648 (Requiring State Law Enforcement to Document Encounters
with ICE) HB 2648 would require state law enforcement agencies to document
encounters with ICE when encountering them enforcing immigration enforcement
activities. If proceedings were to result against officers when complying with these
requirements they would have representation from the AG's office.

DEADLINE Tues. Feb. 3 at 4 pm.
4) Support SSB 5400 (Support Local News) This bill creates a nominal surcharge on
big-tech social media platforms and search engines to support local news journalism. It
will distribute grants to for-profit and nonprofit news organizations and support
placement of a Washington State University journalism fellow in each of Washington’s
39 counties.
Sign in PRO on SB 5400 HERE
DEADLINE: Thurs. Feb. 5 by 12:30 pm.
5) Support SB 5974 (Strengthen Law Enforcement Eligibility Requirements)
Currently there are little to no laws regarding eligibility requirements for police chiefs,
marshals, or sheriffs or the use of volunteer law enforcement personnel in Washington
state. SB 5974 addresses this huge gap by creating standards for eligibility for office,
certification, background checks, and use of volunteers.

DEADLINE: Thurs. Feb. 5 at 12:30 pm.
