Activists are taking the power of their protests from the streets of Seattle this summer to policy-making at the state Capitol in Olympia.
“We’re not asking for a seat at the table. We, the community, are building our own,” said DeAunte Damper from Washington Black Lives Matter Alliance, a new statewide coalition.
On Thursday, the group discussed an ambitious agenda of new possible laws to tackle police reform.
“The requirement of a special prosecutor,” said Livio De La Cruz with Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County.
The panel included leadership from Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County and state lawmakers who discussed their new bills to tackle police reform.
