Take Action: Virtual Listening Session

Over the past two months, Poverty Action has traveled across the state to hear from people with low incomes. From Spokane to Port Angeles, we’ve heard about  the most pressing issues facing our communities and have gathered feedback on how we can best strengthen the voices of low-income people at the state capitol.

Now we need your input. Even if you weren’t able to attend a listening session, we want to hear from you. We need your help to develop our public policy agenda. Participate in our virtual listening session and tell us what you think by filling out our online questionnaire<http://statevoices.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=ksZztwdI%2Fjt6HmzAO4gynQ%3D%3D>. The information you give us informs our requests to lawmakers and we will use your stories to show our representatives a more realistic picture of what it means to be living on a low income.

Save the Date: September 8, 2011
