"Take a Walk in our Shoes" Campaign
Have you or a loved one lost your job due to Inslee’s mask mandate or vaccine mandate? Did you lose your business? Are there other ways you have been affected? Tell your story here!
Let your voice (and your story) be heard in Olympia!
We believe it is time that they take a walk in our shoes and hear the personal stories of those affected by over 18 months of “emergency” mandates declared by one person. It is time the people making these decisions for the rest of us, take a walk in our shoes. Yes- the Covid virus is frightening. There is so much we just do not know and that is frightening. But what is more frightening is the power a few people have assumed over the lives of the many, destroying their livelihoods, their families, their communities and their hope. The victims of these mandates have been mocked, cajoled, coerced and abused. It is time they told their stories.
RiseUpWA is giving them and opportunity to do that. Together we can RiseUP and BE the change.

Take a walk in her shoes.
The attorneys and paralegals who pace their offices as they listen to the stories of fractured families and the lives affected by the stresses, loss of income and pressures of the oppressive society and try to figure out how to fight a war for our constitution as they feel out maneuvered and under resourced.
Take a walk in her shoes.
The chef and his staff walking to close the doors of life long dreams because they could no longer pay the bills or payroll on 25% capacity.
Take a walk in their shoes.
The shoes we do not see or hear are the shoes of our elected officials who have taken to hiding behind zoom cameras, chain link fencing and masks as they consent to tyrannical, unscientific and unconstitutional rules that are enforced with carelessness.
