October Budget Hearings: Make your voices heard!
Now that the Seattle Mayor, Ed Murray, and King County Executive Dow Constantine have proposed budgets to their perspective councils and the public, it is that time of year again to organize and advocate for important causes on both the King County and Seattle City levels. During the month of October there are SIX opportunities all over the county to meet with council members and share your opinions about what is important and should be included in the budget. We would love to see ALL of our members join forces together to show the Coalition on Homelessness’ dedication to our community by having a large presence at every Budget Hearing. We want to hear from you if you are coming! Contact us at rsvp@homelessinfo.org or call our office at 206-204-8350.
