🔥RAISE THE WAGE RENTON UPDATE! 🔥
📣We have only 1 month left to transfer a MASSIVE $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! 📣
💥WE SUBMITTED FOR FEBRUARY!💥
- We submitted to the City of Renton every signature that has been collected this year to qualify for the 2024 February Special Election
- Now, King County will process and validate each signature.
- We submitted an extra 2300 signatures to the batch we submitted in July!
- To hit our target of 4,000 raw signatures and provide cushion for rejected signatures, we need to collect another 1,700 signatures!
⏰ HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE LEFT?⏰
- It depends on how long it takes the county to validate all of our signatures.
- If we don't have enough (which we probably still will not), they'll give us a 10-day window to submit another batch of signatures.
- Last time they took 18 days, but we suspect they might move a little bit faster this time around.
- Our best guess is that including the 10-day window, the FINAL DEADLINE will be sometime between September 20th and September 27th!
📝 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!
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!!
