I just got word from our Policy Director Carrie Dolwick that the House may
take action on the emergency transit funding bill, Senate
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=aJyWS5DCgboYk%2F44uWX
3hOritoTQUmQM> Bill 5457. 

This bill, which has already passed the Senate Floor, needs to get out of
the House by early next week to stay alive. There is a strong possibility
the bill will move today or tomorrow, but we need your help to get it over
the finish line!

Senate
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=B7WnFNEK1nkQWVheUlFjH
eritoTQUmQM> Bill 5457 would give emergency funding to King County Metro to
help the stave off cuts equivalent in size to all of Metro's service in East
King County. The legislature can not let this happen in the most transit
supportive county in Washington.

CLICK
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=uO53kYh8KUbaEJxtZSPOI
oQ4wKXbkvtA> HERE to tell your State Representative to pass Senate Bill
5457, the emergency transit funding act. Because as a community we demand an
alternative to Metro's draconian cuts. Our transit riders and community as a
whole can't afford a reduction of 600,000 service hours at King County
Metro.

Thank you for all that you do,

Andrew Austin
Field Director,
