Ensuring Equality for All Washington Students
Washington Families for Freedom is a statewide coalition committed to protecting parents and students’ rights by defeating two anti-student ballot initiatives in the 2025 election. We are standing up for the privacy and equality of all students by protecting our laws that ensure every student—transgender or not—can play school sports fairly and safely.
PROTECT STUDENT PRIVACY & SAFETY
We are committed to ensuring all Washington Students have safe schools with privacy and dignity.
INCLUSIVE & ACCURATE EDUCATION
While cynical politicians are trying to ban books, rewrite history, and erase communities, we will stand up for inclusive and accurate education.
THE FREEDOM TO BE YOURSELF
All Americans have the right to free speech & free expression. We are fighting to ensure all students – transgender or not – have the freedom to be themselves at school.
Protecting the Right to Learn, Grow, and Belong
WA Families for Freedom is a group of parents, teachers, students, and community members standing up for every families’ right to fair, safe, and equal schools. Washington students should be able to go to school where they are safe and supported. Parents should have the right to know about their child’s well-being and educational progress at school. And no one wants to be part of the political games of a millionaire extremists looking to score points.
In 2025, we are opposing two harmful ballot measures pushed by a millionaire extremist that could take away every student’s privacy and hurt their learning. These measures seek to prevent students – transgender or not – from playing sports with their friends by stripping the basic protections for fairness we have all relied on for 20 years.
DECLINE TO SIGN
A Repeal of The Safety Act
The Safety Act (HB 1296) passed by the Washington State Legislature in 2025 provided vital protections for students, teachers, and parents. A repeal of The Safety Act would roll back a key student privacy law, put schools in jeopardy of costly lawsuits, and make schools release sensitive information like counseling notes and health records without student permission. It would strip homeless students, undocumented students, and disabled students of non-discrimination protections making our schools less fair.
A repeal of The Safety Act will distract schools from their primary mission: helping our kids learn, grow, and recover after the pandemic. The proponents of this repeal are putting political point scoring ahead of our students’ success to create mistrust and confusion.
DECLINE TO SIGN
A Trans Youth Sports Ban
This initiative, pushed by extremist political groups, would invade the privacy of all students and prevent transgender students from playing sports with their friends. While some claim it would only stop transgender girls from playing on girls’ school sports teams. The measure would even require all students to go through invasive physical and genetic medical exams or testing to “prove” their gender.
Discrimination that excludes one group is always wrong. We believe all students deserve dignity and privacy. The extremists pushing this initiative believe kids should be forced to undergo medical exams simply to play with friends.
