Hi friend,
We asked you to send personalized emails opposing cuts to health care, housing, education and more - and WOW you are doing a great job!
Here are just a few quotes from those emails to lawmakers in Olympia!
💗“I have a daughter with special needs who lives at home and whom I care for as her guardian and caretaker. She relies on state funded healthcare and support to be able to live as a fulfilled human being”
👏“Our schools are facing massive shortfalls in their budgets at a time when they need it most. We know the priority is our students, but we can't get them what they need at the expense of other state programs like mental health, child care etc.”
😮“In my school district, Mead, 500 students are classified as homeless. That's the equivalent of one whole elementary school. As an educator, I experienced students who came to school not knowing where they would stay that night. Needless to say, learning wasn't even close to the most important thing on their mind. We can't let the cycle of homelessness persist.”
