I am writing in support of Initiative 1433 that would create safe leave for minimum-wage employees. As a former advocate for domestic violence survivors, I know there are many barriers to leaving an abusive partner. The inability to take time off of work proves to be one of the largest barriers as it is tied to someone’s financial well-being, paramount in the ability to establish independence.
I want to create a Washington where everyone can live free of relationship violence and believe we all should vote yes on Initiative 1433!
