Hey everyone,

If you signed up at No Kings, Black Earth Day, or another recent event - welcome, and thanks for being here.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been out in the community connecting with people and starting to build something real. We hosted our first monthly meeting, talked with a lot of folks at No Kings, and saw a ton of interest in the community calendar at Black Earth Day. There’s a real sense of excitement - and hope - around the ballot initiative work we’re starting.

Now we’re building on that momentum.

🔧 What we’re building

Alongside the calendar, we’re organizing around three people-powered ballot initiatives in Washington:

• Money Out of Politics
• Election Reform (Ranked Choice Voting)
• Universal Healthcare

These meetings and events are about bringing people together and starting to build the kind of coordination it takes to make that happen.
