It is truly an honor to serve our community! -Madam President👩🏽‍⚖️

It’s #WomenHistoryMonth! Let's take a moment to flashback to being featured in the Puget Sound Business Journal and gracing the cover of @tabor.100 . Mama, we made it🙌🏾. Seriously, to all the amazing women and girls out there, don't let anyone tell you that you don't belong in the rooms where millions of dollars are being discussed. We can advocate for important economic development projects, maritime education, and quality work for transportation workers, and we can do it all while staying true to our identities and being bosses. Let's shatter those glass ceilings and make our stories the norm, not the exception. #Bosses #ShatterTheCeiling

Yesterday, I was sworn into office on my mother's Quran (the Islamic sacred book), and my sweet husband, Daud Ali, joined me. Although the event was closed to the public due to the Omicron variant, I’m grateful to my friend @lofanland who documented the experience for the community. I’m looking forward to representing all our communities on the Port of Seattle Commission. Thank you all for being so supportive throughout this journey! #LeadingTogether #Repost @commissionerhamdi

#WomensHistoryMonth the stories we come from, the struggles we carry, the strength we inherit all hold power. My mother’s story, and the work it shaped in me, seen on the front page of the @SeattleTimes , will always remind me of the women in our communities who share her journey, whose stories are never printed but whose impact is everywhere, this month and every month! Women who carry families, communities, and dreams every single day. Women who navigate systems not built for them, and still rise. Women who organize, lead, protect, and push forward. You are celebrated. Keep going. Your story is still being written!✨#HERstory

#WorkersRights I’m in Olympia today for Governor Ferguson’s bill signing. In a time where our communities are demanding and deserve civil rights, worker protections, and real action, Washington State delivered! Grateful to the legislators, advocates, and community organizations who made this possible. At the local level, we’ve taken action too and it’s powerful to see that leadership continue statewide. This is what it looks like to lead! - HB 2411 Shared Leave (Rep. Salahuddin) Supports workers facing detention related hardship - HB 2105 Immigrant Worker Protections (Rep. Ortiz Self) Stronger protections on the job - HB 2355 Domestic Worker Bill of Rights (Rep. Stonier / Sen. Saldaña) Long overdue rights for domestic workers - SB 6002 Driver Privacy (Sen. Trudeau) Protects your data from license plate tracking - SB 5925 Civil Rights Enforcement (Sen. Hansen / Rep. Farivar) Strengthens the Attorney General’s ability to act - SB 5855 Law Enforcement Transparency (Sen. Valdez) Increases accountability - HB 2632 Removing “Alien” from State Law (Rep. My Linh Thai) Because words matter - HB 1710 Preclearance (Rep. Mena) Stops harmful policies before they happen - HB 1750 Voter Protection (Rep. Hill) Protects against voter suppression #WashingtonState #ImmigrantRights #CivilRights

We are closely monitoring reports of ICE activity at airports nationwide following the federal government shutdown and impacts to TSA staffing. At this time, operations at SEA Airport remain normal with no changes to security screening. Airport leadership has not indicated that ICE agents will be performing TSA functions at SEA. I recognize that fear and uncertainty in our community are real. It is important that we stay grounded in facts, share accurate information, and support one another. We are grateful to TSA workers who continue to serve without pay during this shutdown, and to the community members stepping up to support them! This is a developing situation. Stay informed, know your rights, and look out for one another. Follow @flysea for real time updates.

#StateOfThePort2026 One of my favorite events each year in my role as a Port of Seattle Commissioner. A chance to look back at our progress and move forward with vision, resilience, and purpose! In a moment when the world is facing real challenges including shifting trade, evolving supply chains, and global instability, it is more important than ever to think about what strong ports mean for workers, businesses, and communities. And with the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the horizon, Seattle will soon welcome the world through our gateway. Looking ahead with optimism as we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead! @portofseattle @flysea

#BLACKHISTORYMONTH In the wake of the recent shootings in South Seattle, I am reflecting on what solidarity truly means during Black History Month in our region. Not just words, but action. Not just remembrance, but investment. Honoring Black lives and Black history means showing it in how we invest in Black futures and protect the generations coming up behind us. My deepest condolences to the victims, their families, and all those impacted. Holding you in care and remembrance! 💔

False reports of immigration enforcement and Border Patrol sightings can cause unnecessary fear in our communities. Before sharing posts about ICE or CBP activity, ask yourself: ✔️ Is there evidence to back this up? ⌚Date and time of the sighting? 📍Location (street name or area description)? 📷Photos or videos of the interaction? 👁️First-hand witness testimony? 📞 If you witness immigration enforcement activity firsthand or a loved one has been detained, please text or leave a voicemail to the WAISN hotline: 1-844-724-3737. Please avoid calling the Hotline to document rumors or to ask if activity is confirmed so that first-hand information can get through to our organizers. Let’s work together to protect our communities and stop unnecessary fear. #Repost @waisn_org #DeportationDefense #RapidResponse #ProtectOurCommunity #WAISN

Please join us for our People First Luncheon! The Port of Seattle runs on people—not just planes and ships. It’s airport workers, baggage handlers, dockworkers, small business owners, technicians, and union members who keep everything moving. That’s who I fight for at the Port—and why I put #PeopleFirstPolicies front and center. You’ll hear from: - Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown, leading the national fight to defend our Constitution and holding the Trump administration accountable with over 20 lawsuits. - Angela Rye, award-winning advocate and political commentator seen on CNN, ABC, and NPR—known for her bold, unapologetic voice for justice and equity. ✨ Your support will help power our people-first campaign: - Launch the People First Institute—a leadership program focused on co-governance - Organize and mobilize our communities - Support mutual aid efforts that meet urgent local needs In this moment, when our rights, democracy, and communities are under attack, we’re choosing to center people. Let’s build together!
