Activivists Make WFSE Happen! Thank you WFSE warriors, activists and staff

Thank you to all who have come to Olympia to lobby legislators; to those who have written letters and sent emails; and to those who have made phone opposing the all-cuts budget.

You have made a difference. You saved programs for the citizens and you saved jobs for members.

As I participated in and witnessed the remarkable efforts of our activists and staff in turning back the attempts to close Naselle, Yakima Valley School and Green Hill, I marveled at how much our members care for those they serve and how committed they are to saving the continuum of care in the social service network.

The efforts of our CCOs to protect the public, the efforts to preserve funding for higher education, the work to save our parks - there are simply too many to name. Our union and our state had much to lose but thanks to your efforts, the losses are far less because you stood up and brought the stick to the fight.

Thank you one and all.
