🔥RAISE THE WAGE RENTON UPDATE! 🔥

 

âť“WHAT'S NEXT? âť“

  • We're going to submit a batch on August 30th, any signatures older than 180 days will be discarded!
  • After the county validates these signatures, they'll give us one final 10-day window to submit another batch if we didn't turn in enough signatures at the end of August.
  • We're going to gather until September 20th-27th (depends on how long KC Elections takes to validate) since we probably will not have enough signatures by August 30th.
  • We have to make up a gap of ~2,700 valid signatures to qualify since signatures older than 180 days will not count.
  • We've gathered 1,700 raw signatures towards this gap, we have 2,300 signatures to go to hit our raw target of 4,000 signatures.

 

 SAVING SIGNATURES! 

  • Can't make it down to Renton? Want to help out remotely? We have a plan for you!
  • Signatures are invalidated because signatures don't match the voter file, signers weren't registered to vote, or a signer's signature expired!
  • We have a team of volunteers contacting these folks and working with them to save those signatures!
  • Interested in helping out? Reach out to [email protected]  or reach out in the Chapter Slack for more information!

 

What should I bring to a canvass? 

  • Now that we’re door knocking more often, make sure to bring some water, sunscreen, comfortable clothes, and snacks!
  • If you can, bring a friend! Bringing one extra canvasser can DOUBLE your output!


If getting down to Renton is difficult but you still want to help out, we’ll be hosting an event to help count, validate, and cure our signatures so we can get a higher validity rate. Stay tuned for an update in the coming week or so on when to attend!

This is our chance to deliver a MASSIVE wealth transfer of $90 million EVERY YEAR from the corporate elite to the working class, especially the most marginalized minimum wage workers! THIS IS OUR LAST CHANCE TO QUALIFY FOR THE BALLOT!
