Dear editor,
A huge thank you to the 21st District Legislative Team from our Edmonds area. Those of us concerned about the climate crisis, and climate justice, were hoping for some good bills in the Washington State Legislature in the 2021 session because we knew the time was short for us to address these destructive issues. Our 21st legislators Senator Marko Liias, Representative Lillian Ortiz-Self, and Representative Strom Peterson demonstrated both discipline and negotiating skills as they worked with colleagues to pass bills that addressed climate, justice, families, air and water quality, and our economy.
We especially appreciate their sponsorship and/or support of these bills:

Poverty, disability, homelessness wouldn’t qualify as sole reason to take kids away
With tears in her eyes, Karen Osborne recalled the day in 2014 when police showed up to take away her 6-week-old daughter. Osborne hadn’t been accused of abuse nor neglect. Instead, social workers were concerned about Osborne’s “mental capacity.” They had already removed seven of Osborne’s previous children and made plans to remove her new baby before she was even born.
Social workers and a doctor who examined the baby didn’t find any evidence that the child was maltreated, according to case notes obtained by Disability Rights Washington. Rather than actual observations of Osborne’s parenting skills, state officials deemed her unfit to parent based on IQ tests. They moved to terminate her parental rights 18 months after removing the child, before Osborne had even completed parent
