STATEWIDE “DAY OF ACTION” TOMORROW

The Federation is turning out hundreds of members at worksites across the state tomorrow, including at the state Capitol in Olympia itself.

Local 443 will sponsor a lobby day and noon rally for its members at the Capitol as part of the statewide "Day of Action." The Local 443 "Day of Action" rally will be at 12 noon, tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17, at the Tivoli Fountain on the Capitol campus in Olympia.

More than 60 other events are planned around the state, including in Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, Bremerton, Retsil, Buckley, Selah, Moses Lake, Omak, Medical Lake, Cheney, Yakima, Tri-Cities, Ellensburg, Vancouver, Kelso, Longview, Centralia, Chehalis, Tumwater, Lacey and elsewhere in Olympia.

The statewide "Day of Action" comes two days before the next revenue forecast comes out, which will trigger a flurry of legislative budget action.

The idea behind the "Day of Action" is not to just bring members from across the state to the Capitol but to bring their message from all across the state to lawmakers on a single day.

Federation members have waged a session-long campaign against the "all-cuts" budget approach that threatens the vulnerable, public safety, health, recreation and the environment. Hundreds of members have been present at the Capitol almost every day this session for lobby days centering on their particular issues.
