Don't Forget to Vote by this Tuesday 11/4!

This is a message from Statewide Poverty Action Network, which is the advocacy wing of Solid Ground. We build grassroots power to end causes of poverty and create opportunities for everyone to prosper. We want to encourage you to turn in your ballots on or before Election Day, which is this Tuesday, November 4th. 

In 2014, there are several elected officials you will be voting for, which include, federal, statewide, and local officials. Additionally, there are several initiatives on the ballot:

If you live in Seattle, please Vote YES on Proposition 1, which will preserve bus lines and reinstate some bus routes that have been cut.

Poverty Action is taking a stand on two of the statewide ballot initiatives: Initiative 594, which would make gun sales safer, and Initiative 591 that would make gun sales less safe. Poverty Action is asking folks to Vote YES on Initiative 594, and Vote NO on Initiative 591.
