Legislative Priorities

In 2024, the MOCC is prioritizing policies that break down structural barriers and improve opportunity, access, and representation for people of color in Washington. Together, when we honor the historic struggles and lived experiences of our communities, we are shaping a future where each person in our state can be whole.

Here are legislative priorities this session.
