You are invited to join with parents and advocates in Walla Walla to learn what's at stake for kids in the state budget, share how your family is affected by the recession and budget cuts, and find out how you can take action for kids and families.

Legislators will return to Olympia for a special session to balance the budget starting November 28th. Our elected leaders are considering drastic cuts that could undo decades of progress, slam shut doors of opportunity,
and leave kids and families on a path toward terrible losses.

Join with advocates for kids in Spokane to power up for the coming legislative session.

You are invited to join Children's Alliance members, Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, and state lawmakers from your area for a discussion about the needs of kids and families during these tough times.

On December 11th eighty-five advocates for kids packed the Native Project conference room to hear from Spokane area legislative leaders - including Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown. Advocates heard grim predictions about the impact of the economic crisis on kids and families. At the same time the advocates present reaffirmed a strong commitment to protect kids - especially during tough times. Thanks to all who participated, and especially to the Native Project for hosting.
