From the Washington Civil Rights Association:
EMAIL YOUR SENATORS TODAY: VOTE NO on SSB 5038 OPEN CARRY PROHIBITION
Easy Action of the Day #13
LET'S INCREASE THE PRESSURE!
***SAME TOPIC, DIFFERENT BRANCH! ***
Today we flood the SENATE with your voices!
The left is calling any form of open carry "armed intimidation." But we know that is just histrionics.
Whether you open carry or not it doesn't matter: we CANNOT LET them take away yet another of our rights!
THREE EASY STEPS!
STEP 1: Visit this link to find your representative: https://app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFinder/
Enter your address, click Verify District, jot down your legislators with SEN in front of their name (Senate)
STEP 2: Visit this link to find their email: https://app.leg.wa.gov/MemberEmail/Senate
Paste their email into your mail program
STEP 3: Copy and personalize your email. For Republicans, thank them for opposing.
Subject: Use your own subject to ensure they don't just delete all look-alikes!
Senator LAST NAME, I am in in your district and I live at ADDRESS (Important as they cannot delete if you live in their district)
**TALKING POINTS **(copy or add your own so they don't delete form letters)
Please oppose SSB 5038 prohibiting open carry. This bill directly mirrors the racism and classism of the Mulford act banning the open carry of firearms to disarm black civil rights protesters and activists in California.
This bill reduces the ability of a peaceful protestor to defend him- or herself against an overzealous police officer, counter protestor, or other attacker
Carrying a firearm with intent to intimidate is already illegal in Washington per RCW 9.41.270. This bill does nothing but make an act MORE illegal
Prohibiting our ability to defend our lives and those of our children within nearly a football field distance from a demonstration is egregious and unnecessary
Peaceful, legal open carry within public supermarkets, restaurants, shopping areas, and other public areas far removed and completely separated from a demonstration will be penalized
This bill is ripe for abuse. The Black, Brown, and Asian communities are easy targets
Feel free to add your own points as well.
Feel free to visit https://wacivilrights.org/.../the-fallacy-of-the-open.../ for more talking points, and share yours in the Washington 2021 Legislative Action Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/walegislativeactiongroup
Let's push back HARD and LOUD!

Your voice absolutely matters. We only win if you take action!
