Hello there!!
The weather is definitely getting cooler, which means it's the perfect time for a temperature check: how are you feeling about the election? Let us know on this strawpoll ([link removed]) .
We are incredibly thankful for all of the work that you have done this election season. No matter how the results turn out, you should be satisfied that you have done what you could to affect your community. After all, this election is not the end. When you pass sex ed for the state, elect Black women, question your elected officials at panels and town halls, and encourage people who don't usually vote to vote, you make a lasting change that will effect far beyond just this one election.
So, thank you. See you all on the other side.

Header: #SolidarityBudget For Seattle
King County Young Democrats are proud to sign onto the effort to pass a Solidarity Budget ([link removed]) for Seattle. This work is essential to continue the efforts over the summer to fight systemic racism and anti-blackness.
If you live in Seattle, we urge you to contact the Seattle City Council and Mayor Durkan to support calls to reinvest SPD funds in BIPOC communities. It's as easy as filling out this form letter ([link removed]) . When you're done, ask your friends to fill it out too - this is a crucial time period where city leaders are listening to the public for feedback on the proposed budget, and they need to be pressured into doing the right thing.
Contact Seattle City Leaders ([link removed])
Want to do more? Even more effective than sending a sternly worded letter is saying it directly to their faces. If you want to sign up to give public testimony at a city council meeting, there are organizers that will help you and coach you every step of the way.
Think you have nothing to contribute? That's where you're wrong! Check out what people have said ([link removed]) within the last couple of weeks and notice how impressive it is that over 100 people showed up to make a comment. Just your presence is enough to help pressure Seattle City Council, so sign up today!
