I want to encourage you to take action to end poverty this Martin Luther King Day! Come to Olympia with Statewide Poverty Action Network to Monday January 18th for the Ending Poverty, Creating Opportunity: People's Summit & March on the Capitol.
Free buses leave Seattle from Solid Ground (at 1501 N 45th St. in Wallingford) at 7:15am on Monday, Jan. 18, and return at around 5:30 pm the same day. The bus will also make a stop in Auburn if that is more convenient for you. You must sign up for the bus or carpool in advance, by calling Poverty Action Network at 206-694-6794—Ask for Kate.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Childcare will also be provided at the Capitol, and kids are welcome on the bus. Come to learn about policies that affect low-income people, network with people from across the state and share your story with lawmakers.
We hope you will turn out on January 18th, to call upon the state legislature and the Governor to make ending poverty a priority. For more information call Poverty Action at 206-694-6794.
