At this time of the year, it’s vital that all of our voices join the civic dialogue and help shape legislative action. Here are some ways you can help right now.

State

Please write or call your State Representatives and Senators – encourage them to explore ways to produce new revenue. Emails, letters, and calls would be great now and throughout the first half of the year!

The basic message: Washington residents value caring for our most vulnerable, and our budget priorities should reflect that. Washington should enact a variety of revenue generating polices that fund safety net programs and advance equity in our state.

National

Please write or call your U.S. Representatives and Senators – encourage them to replace unfair budget caps and sequestration with a balanced approach to budget deficit reduction. Emails, letters, and calls would be great in January!

The basic message: Congress and the President must work together to end sequestration. Such sequestration relief must be equally balanced between nondefense and defense programs, as strong investments in both nondefense and defense are necessary to keep our country competitive, safe, and secure.
