Preserve Funding for Vital Programs for Struggling WA Residents

As Washington State contends with a budget shortfall, huge cuts are being proposed to critical programs that support low-income and marginalized individuals and families. There are proposals to reduce or eliminate assistance to food banks, summer EBT for children, grants to 23-hour crisis relief centers for mental and behavioral health emergencies, Medicaid optional programs for maternal and newborn healthcare, and healthcare and legal aid for immigrants, to name a few. Our legislators and Governor need to hear from us about the costs of these proposed cuts to the health and well-being of our communities and our economy. Our faith and wisdom traditions uplift the rights and welfare of the widow, the orphan, the low-wage worker, the stranger--in other words, those who are most marginalized. Please personalize and sign this letter, even if you already wrote about progressive revenue. Thank you!
