• Monday, April 18, the walk proceeds to the Capitol in Olympia for an inter-denominational church service on the budget, and fasting, at noon. April 18 is significant for three reasons. It’s Passover. It’s the start of Holy Week leading to Easter Sunday (and the last day of the legislative session April 24). And it’s the 10th anniversary of the start of the Federation’s statewide strike of 2001. Like the People’s Walk, let’s not forget how far we’ve come and how hard we need to fight so we never go back.
