TAKE ACTION

1. CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATORS

Here are three things you can do to make a difference in the lives of thousands of students across our state:

Call the Washington State Legislative Hotline TODAY: 1 (800) 562-6000. Here are a few key talking points:

  1. 1.Washington’s kids, their families and our teachers deserve better – these crippling cuts are unacceptable and shortsighted

  2. 2.Support HB 2078: end tax loopholes for Wall Street banks and out-of-state shoppers, and dedicate the $170 million in revenue to education

  3. 3.The Senate’s anti-teacher amendment needs to be stripped from E2SHB 1443. It unfairly attacks educators at a time when they need our support
