Congratulations and our gratitude extends to Long-time activist against sex trafficking and Yarrow Point Resident Ria Bahadur, who drafted WA Senate Bill SB 5355 to mandate sex trafficking education in grades 7-12 statewide.  The bill has passed out of the Senate and is now in the House. Here is the Senate Democrats’ press release on SB 5355:
