From the Stranger 2017 endorsement:
“When we endorsed Lorena Gonzalez in 2015, we called her a badass, and she has more than lived up to it. In two years, she sponsored legislation to give hourly workers more control over their work schedules, create an immigrant legal defence fund, and ban anti-LGBT conversion therapy.”

Seattle Councilmember Lorena Gonzalez says it’s time for paid family and medical leave. She’s made a bold suggestion: Either the State does it, or the City will.
“It’s fundamentally unjust to say that you can take time off, but we’re not willing to pay you to take care of a basic human need that we all have,” said the councilmember, who also showed data claiming nearly half the city does not receive full paid leave.
The proposal is not formal but comes just a day before Gonzalez and other Seattle councilmembers visit Olympia to lobby on the City’s behalf. Gonzalez suggested, depending on those conversations, she may pursue legislation this year.

The resolution says the city will reject any offer from the federal government to enter into an agreement authorizing Seattle police officers to carry out immigration enforcement.
“We will not capitulate to you, Mr. Trump,” Councilmember M. Lorena González said, drawing applause from supporters at City Hall.

Lorena González, the council member who drafted the new ordinance, gave a powerful speech upon introducing the legislation. “Being gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer or transgender is not an illness,” she said. “Nor is it something that needs a cure.”

Creating stability and relationships with folks who have real experience being homeless is absolutely essential. Humanity matters.

If the inequities in the system still exist, it'll be hard to prevent folks from entering homelessness in the first place. This must change.

I am a Vietnam Vet. I did an amphibious assault with Marines and Seabees at ChuLai Vietnam in 1965. I realize when I came home that $5 and my time in the military would get me a cup of coffee, if I did not tell them I was a Vet. I thought over the years that would change. I worked my why though college before volunteering to serve in the military and worked while in an anesthesia residency after being in Vietnam. I knew not to expect much for my years of service. It turns out that has not changed. Lorena Gonzalez was one of three at the 37th District Democrats meeting, who whipped up a crowd and declared the City should not give points to those who took years out of they lives to serve in the military and were now ready to have a career in public service. I apologized to Lorana Gonzalez and everyone at the meeting for having served in Vietnam for my country, for helping wounded Marines on medical evacuations and for having taken time to serve my country. I did not realize that serving with the Navy and Marines made me such a terrible person. Vote for Pat Murakami.
