Because League of Education Voters is celebrating and honoring democracy in a very serious way. We’re participating in it (whoooaa). Instead of spending your first Monday of mid-winter break sleeping in and having breakfast in bed (orange juice toast to our past presidents)… you should come to Olympia with us for an action-packed day of democracy.
We’ll be meeting up in Olympia with our friends at the Children’s Alliance for:
- Advocacy and Activism 101
- identifying the issues (i.e. why you should care!)
- lunch
- RALLY AT THE CAPITOL
- and then an Epic Photo Scavenger Hunt.
Oh what, you haven’t heard about the rally yet? Well, it’s going to be pretty big. Children’s Alliance will be in the house, LEV will be in the house, the Bus, Young Democrats, Washington Student Association, Fuse, the Win-Win network… All in the house.
We’re all gathering in support of Washington State bringing in some new revenue this year. You know why? Because Washington’s broke and that means they are cutting funding to our education system. While we’re fighting to keep those cuts to a minimum, we’re also fighting to make sure Washington is getting creative with how they bring in the dough (because we need to do both!)
See, democracy can be fun. Free scenic bus tour down the I-5 corridor, free lunch, a giant rally on the steps of the capitol, and a photo scavenger hunt?
You may also learn a lil bit about the state you live in… (not a guarantee though, the learning curve is different for everyone!!)
send me an email (Maggie@educationvoters.org) if you are interested. I’ll put your name on the list, we’ll let you on the bus and get you some grub.
