Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 1/8/24, 8:03 am

It’s the first day of the Washington legislative session. I would advise you to see what bills a lobbying group whose goals you support is pushing, or a general organization like Fuse. And find a bill or two and write your legislators about it.

Many organizations will also have lobby days or other ways to get involved. These are a hoot for citizen groups, and I would encourage you to sign up if you can.

And please, wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
