Join Spokane Riverkeeper and other water advocacy groups to advocate for laws that keep freshwater resources safe during the 2024 state legislative session! It's easier than you might think, and our staff will be with you every step of the way.
Water Lobby Day: Thursday, February 1st in Olympia, WA beginning at 9:30am. We encourage anyone to join, whether it’s your first time talking to lawmakers or not! If there is enough interest, we will also host a virtual training to help those who cannot attend in person to learn how to engage virtually.
Expect the event to take much of the day, with lawmaker meetings wrapping up in afternoon. There will be an optional happy hour/debrief after everyone has had their meetings.
The word “lobbying” carries a lot of baggage. But really, lobbying is simply meeting with elected officials to have your voice heard. That’s why we think it’s time lobbying is put back into the hands of the people. At Washington Water Lobby Day, we’ll help make it easier to talk to your elected officials about several key bills that could become law this year, as well as vital funding for existing programs.
