| Collapse all
Full Service Workers Alliance Seattle, Co-Founder representing restaurant workers in protecting their freedoms and flexibilities through legislative advocacy.
Restaurant Workers of America, Co-Founder, and board member promoting tipping compensation model, tip credits, and higher back-of-house wages.
Seattle Renters Commission, as a member, provides information, advice, and counsel to the Mayor, Seattle City Council, and departments concerning issues and policies affecting renters.
Simone has testified before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Education & Labor during the 2018 Raise The Wage Act hearings concerning the impacts of raising the federal minimum wage on the restaurant industry and has given legislative testimonies at various state and local levels. Her efforts with the Full Service Workers Alliance during the Secure Scheduling hearings saved Seattle small businesses millions of dollars and preserved scheduling flexibility for workers.- Cost of living: Many of our state’s most pressing issues can be threaded back to our exaggerated cost of living. We need to start having the hard conversations about the current policies that have burdened our communities. No matter if we are talking about the price of gas or the lack of middle housing, there are many ways to stamp down this cost of living crisis that touches all of us.
- Small Business: Our many wonderful small businesses are negatively impacted by bad policy. They are the cornerstone of our communities and provide jobs that grow our economy. We need to support our small business instead of burdening them so they can continue to be avenues to income and uplift our neighborhoods.
- Crime and Safety: Since the pandemic and the defunding of the police movement, crime has skyrocketed. The city of Seattle has lost hundreds of law enforcement officers because of lack of support. We need to change the narrative, support our police and hold criminals accountable.
It broke my heart because Washington is taxing our elderly citizens out of their homes, the ones they have worked their whole lives to build.
