Dear Eastern Washington Friends,
The 2023 Eastern Washington Legislative Conference, co-sponsored by FAN and led by our Eastern Washington partners, will be from 8:30am to 3pm on Saturday, January 21, at Spokane Valley United Methodist Church and online. Rev. Gen Heywood, pastor of Veradale United Church of Christ and convener of Faith Leaders and Leaders of Conscience, will be the keynote speaker addressing the theme Caring for Our Common Earth Now and Forever.
There will be plenary sessions including Legislative Briefings by Advocates in Olympia, Housing Is a Human Right, and Indigenous Voices on Environmental Justice, as well as workshops on welcoming refugees, racial justice, food security, and faithful advocacy. The legislative briefings will be presented by FAN Policy Engagement Ddirector Kristin Ang, Donna Christensen of the Washington State Catholic Conference, and Jessica Zimmerle of Earth Ministry/Interfaith Power and Light.
Don’t miss this great opportunity to engage in this year’s legislative process with your fellow faithful advocates. Go to this web page for more information and to register. Download a copy of the flyer and share in your community.
In solidarity,
Elise
