Rally for Safety & Privacy

Start: Thursday, February 06, 202010:00 AM

Join Washington’s public employees and their supporters as they speak out to protect their families’ privacy and safety. Under the Public Records Act, their home addresses and certain other personal information are supposed to be kept private. But in 2019, the courts ruled that their birth dates are public information. This exposes all public employees and their families to identity theft, stalkers, and others who may want to target them at home.

HB 1888 updates the Public Records Act to add birth dates to the personal data kept private. On Thursday, Feb. 6, join public employees and union members for a brief 10 a.m. rally at the State Capitol steps in Olympia. Participants will then seek out their legislators and urge them to approve HB 1888 and other pro-worker bills.
