“I firmly believe Washington to be an anti-racist state, and I will be taking actions that hold our state to that commitment,” Inslee said in the press conference. “We need our policies and budget to reflect our dedication toward disrupting the harmful systemic cycle of racism and inequity.”
In the legislative and budget proposals announced Monday, Inslee supported House Bill 1016, which would establish Juneteenth as a legal holiday in Washington state. He allocated an additional $2.5 million to the Washington Equity Office. This office is tasked with creating a five-year equity plan for the state, as well as consulting with existing departments to create their own equity plans.
