Legislative Committee Calls to Action
Recently, we asked you to write to your representatives to show support for a selected set of bills. What a great response! Since then, HB1169 has passed the house! If passed by the Senate, this bill will begin to fix our sentencing structure. Thank you for your efforts and for being part of this victory. If you haven’t yet reached out to your representatives, there is still time to take action!
The National Women’s Political Caucus of Washington is hosting their Annual Candidate Training for Women and Non-Binary Individuals!
National, state, and local campaign experts will help current, and future candidates, campaign managers, and community leaders learn the ins and outs of running for office. This training is perfect for anyone planning or thinking about running for office as well as for those who prefer to be the heroes behind the scenes as campaign staff or volunteers! Please share with your members and network to help increase the number of pro-choice candidates in public office by supporting our mutually crucial political work.
