The legislative session brings the perfect opportunity for all of us to raise our voices in support of equitable food access for all Washingtonians. Help us advocate for public policies that 1) promote access to nutritious food, 2) help those who struggle to meet their basic needs, and 3) support budgets that restore our basic safety net with fair and sustainable revenue.
