SUMMARY:Advocate for Student Basic Needs at Lobby Day
DESCRIPTION:Show up. Speak out. Shape the future! \nJoin us on Wednesday\, February 5\, 2025\, for Postsecondary Basic Needs (PSBN) Lobby Day at the Capitol in Olympia to support students! \nWhy join? \nEducation is a proven pathway out of poverty\, but too many students in Washington state struggle to persist or complete educational programs because they cannot meet their basic needs for food\, mental + behavioral healthcare\, childcare\, housing\, or support to navigate existing systems. These barriers disproportionately impact low-income students\, particularly those who are Black\, Indigenous + people of color (BIPOC)\, first-generation\, or parenting students. Together\, we can advocate for equitable policies and resources students need to thrive. \nWhat to expect? \n\nRally with student advocates\, state representatives\, and coalition partners as we fight for essential student needs like college support services\, housing\, childcare\, mental health\, behavioral healthcare\, and food security.\nConnect with legislators to amplify the call for essential student support services.\nNo experience needed—just your passion!\n\n📅 When: February 5\, 2025\n📍 Where: Abigail Stuart House (1002 Washington St SE\, Olympia\, WA 98501) and the Washington State Capitol Campus \nLet’s fight for equitable access to education and win. United is the way we can ensure no student is left behind. See you in Olympia! \n👉 Register Now \n👉 Learn How Your Input is Shaping Our Advocacy

SUMMARY:MLK March for Equity - Community Volunteer Opportunity

Volunteers will be strategically dispersed throughout the Garfield High School parking lot to pass out signs. Handing out signs will begin at 11:45 am on January 20. You are welcome to come early to partake in additional activities in honor of Martin Luther King\, Jr. \n  \nThis opportunity is hosted by Emerging Leaders 365 and all are welcome to volunteer.
