DDI October 2021 Newsletter
DDI has been very busy this year. YOUR Leadership Team has been meeting and developing goals and priorities for the organization to work on over the next several years. These all focus on issues of representation, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
DDI was involved this past Legislative Session. We have connected with political campaigns and made endorsements for the Primary Elections and now the General Elections. The DDI Endorsements are posted on the DDI website and Facebook page.
It’s Elections time and time to make your voice heard at the Ballot. Be sure to mail your ballot back no later than Tuesday., November 2nd.

The Washington State Redistricting Commission has come out with their initial recommendations for redistricted Legislative and Congressional Districts. To see the proposed Legislative Commissioner Proposed Legislative Maps (wa.gov) and Congressional Commissioner Proposed Congressional Maps (wa.gov) District maps.
Please review these sites and speak out about the impact some versions of these maps will have in terms of insuring actual and adequate representation of minority communities across the state. DDI is preparing our response and reaction to these proposed maps now that they have been submitted to the public for review and consideration. We will not allow our voting strength and numbers to be diluted or for minority communities to go without a voice at any level of government.
We continue to encourage everyone to get their COVID vaccinations.
