We know that advocacy is done best in community!
For those of us who aren’t Olympia insiders, it’s really hard to identify key bills to focus on, track a bill’s progress, know who to talk to when, and figure out the most effective thing to say.
We’ve laid out the key bills we’re advocating for in our Legislative Agenda here.

As these bills move through the legislature, there are three big ways to make your voice heard:
- Email or call your lawmaker and tell them what matters to you.
- Sign in Pro or Con on bills that are being heard.
- Sign up to Testify for bills being heard.
You can also engage your community to take the above actions through posting to social media and emailing your contacts.
