The Washington State Legislature’s annual Lobby Day is coming up on Tuesday, January 23, 2018 in Olympia. If you want to make LGBTQ voices heard in the statehouse, about causes important to the community, then you can join Equal Rights Washington that day to physically meet with state legislatures about upcoming legislation and the future of not only LGBTQ rights in our state, but important issues relation to race, gender, economics, transportation, health care, education…the whole kit and caboodle!
Join ERW for Lobby Day in Olympia!
On Tuesday, January 23rd, please join Equal Rights Washington as we head to Olympia to meet with our elected representatives for Lobby Day.
Together, we will speak with state legislators about issues of importance to the LGBTQ community, including passing a ban on conversion therapy for minors, enacting parentage laws to support our LGBTQ families, and ensuring all law enforcement officers are provided access to life-saving, de-escalation training. You’ll also have the chance to meet other activists and supporters who believe in a Washington where all people, regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, are safe and treated with respect and dignity.
