What: Gather at Performance Park, then march to Rep. Newhouse’s district office, calling on him to hear our voice on immigrant rights, affordable healthcare, and other issues
When: Wednesday, February 22, 2017, 12pm
Where: Gather at Performance Park: 100 Pendleton Way, Yakima
March to Rep. Newhouse District Office: 402 E. Yakima Ave, Yakima
More information
Prompted by the failure of any of Washington State’s Republican members of Congress to schedule a town hall during the current recess, this event is one of a series happening across the state this week in Spokane, Vancouver, and Issaquah, as well as Yakima. The events as a whole are led by a coalition of community, labor, and faith groups known as Hear Our Voice.
The Trump Administration has shown its priorities on immigrant rights and affordable health care. Now members of Congress owe their constituents an explanation of where they stand.
