Not again. Not if we have anything to say about it. The budget cuts that are on the table this session are more than we as a state should ever have to bear. The money is out there, yet our most vulnerable are going without the basics. Kids who are in school right now, accessing underfunded education, don’t get to do it over when we get this sorted out. Elderly people who skip meals to stay on meds (or vice versa) don’t get a re-do either. I could go down the list but the point is clear. This is for real.

Fixing our state’s budget for the short and long term isn’t something that any of us, even Fuse, can do alone. So I am extending an invitation.

On Tuesday, January 17, we’re hosting a community forum right in the heart of South Seattle, Columbia City. We’ll have experts on the budget and the state legislature on hand to speak about our current challenges, and what we can do to build a more fair, just future for our state.

Join us on Tuesday, January 17, from 7-8:30pm at the Southside Commons in Seattle. Click below to reserve your seat:

$10 billion in budget cuts. Rising college tuition. Seniors losing health care. Our backwards tax system doesn’t serve us. It’s going to take all of us working together to rebuild an economy that works for all in Washington, not just some.

We know there are practical, progressive solutions that close our immediate budget shortfall and reform our state tax system for the long haul. Let’s talk about what they are and what we as a progressive community can do to make this happen.

Please join us on Tuesday, January 17, from 7-8:30pm at the Southside Commons in Seattle for a community forum. Click below to reserve your seat:
