The Washington state Office of Equity

The Office of Equity was created with Washington state’s RCW 43.06D in 2020. The office began its work in 2021, and as a new office within state government, many want to understand more about the work being done in the office and how it plans to impact Washingtonians.

In this webinar, we learn about the Office of Equity’s work from their Communications Director, TraeAnna Holiday. She shares insights into their approach to executing that RCW, featuring examples that showcase the practical application of systems change work that the office is leading. We then explore these topics with a panel of students from the Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL) and answer your questions.

Students discuss:

  • What they would consider ‘systems change’ work
  • How they would like to gain access to state government
  • How government can serve them better, and
  • The issue they are most passionate about and possible solutions

Student Panelists:

  • Abby Wu, a senior at Pullman High School in the Pullman School District and a member of the Association of Washington Student Leaders (AWSL)
  • Aisha Hamad Sallah, a junior at Mariner High School in the Mukilteo School District and a member of AWSL
  • Chiamaka Lekwauwa, a junior at Rogers High School in the Puyallup School District and a member of AWSL
  • Geraldine Donovan, a sophomore at Seattle Prep and a member of AWSL
  • Jack Farrell, a senior at Inglemoor High School in the Northshore School District and a member of AWSL
