LWV Voter Newsletter 02-2022

Posted on March 4, 2022

In This Issue:

  • Know Your Representatives: 2022 TRY Now Available  
  • Tree Campaign Update in Snohomish County 
  • Dealing with Stress in a World of Overwhelm  
  • 2022 Lobby Week Another Success
  • Updates from the National League 
  • League Calendar

Know Your Representatives: 2022 TRY Now Available  

The 2022 edition of the League’s They Represent You: Directory of Elected Officials (known as the TRY), which is produced by the LWV of Seattle-King County, is now available to download. Learn more!


Tree Campaign Update in Snohomish County 

These trees weren’t planted 20 years ago. In recent years, large, single-family developments broadly scrape the trees and soil off the land. Now we know better, so it’s time to update the county code to reflect new understandings. Read more here.


Dealing with Stress in a World of Overwhelm  

So many things to do, so little time. While spending time dealing with our own issues (personal, family, and friends), League members have the added stress of being aware of the challenges to our democracy. Learn more about what you can do here.


2022 Lobby Week Another Success

The League of Women Voters of Washington and Fix Democracy First hosted more than 200 participants in January’s second virtual Lobby Week. Core issues in democracy (including elections, voting, money in politics) as well as climate and transportation bills were highlighted. Learn more. 


Updates from the National League 

Happy 102nd birthday to the League, voting rights, and new designs. Read more about what the LWVUS is doing.

    Tri-Cities Socialists will be hosting a volunteer door-knocking this Saturday Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7, both at 1pm, for our ICE Out of Tri campaign.

    Since the Covid-19 pandemic, support for public health policies has gradually declined. At the federal level certain policies and practices regarding vaccines have been thrown into question.

    Vaccine proponents note the long-time and widespread benefits of the traditional MMR vaccine; vaccine skeptics generally insist it causes autism. Some say the approval process (Operation Warp Speed for Covid-19) was either rushed or rigged; others say the process was instrumental in reducing suffering and saved the lives of millions of people.

    Round Table Pizza3201 W Court St, Pasco

    It's time for a holiday celebration. This month we'll meet at the Round Table Pizza on Court Street in Pasco. December 12 at 6pm. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. As is our normal practice, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We'll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.

    At this writing, we do not have a planned program, but we will have 'Hate Has no Home Here' signs available. We are coming up on election time for the group - at our January meeting we'll plan to hold elections for our officers for 2026. Please let us know if you are interested in serving on the board!

    For full details, including the address, and to RSVP see https://www.meetup.com/tri-city-democrats/events/312303177/
