Interfaith Advocacy Day
On February 16th, over 200 advocates from around Washington gathered at the State Capitol in Olympia for Interfaith Advocacy Day 2010. The day was a great success as people of faith worshiped together, heard from experts about the policy and budget issues, were addressed by Gov. Chris Gregoire, and met with their elected representatives.
“Supporting Revenue to Protect Services” was the slogan for the day as attendees advocated for the new revenue necessary to prevent an all cuts budget. Gov. Gregoire urged the gathering help legislators put a human face on services at risk, such as the Basic Health Plan and Apple Health. A big “Thank You!” to the religious partners, organizations, and advocates that made Interfaith Advocacy Day 2010 possible.





The Lutheran Public Policy Office (LPPO) of Washington State is one of the 18 State Public Policy Offices of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
LPPO joined the coalition, Friends of Basic Health, for a meeting with Senator Maria Cantwell on Tuesday, November 24th. The meeting was held at the International Community Health Services clinic in Seattle’s International District.
