Help Pass the Seattle School Levies |
Here are four ways to support the Seattle Schools Levies to ensure they pass with a big margin on February 8. The Seattle Schools levies provide critical funding to support our school communities. Please share this information widely.
-
Vote YES and YES for the Levies: For Seattle voters, mark your ballots “YES” and “YES” on Props 1 & 2. Return your ballots today, don’t delay. Ballots must be received by 8:00pm on Tuesday, February 8, to be counted.

Share our video: Check out this awesome video made by a 350 Seattle volunteer! The Dropbox link has files you can download and share on social media. This video is not for ads, so the only way people see it is if we share it. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j9omvu7wdj0as7m/AAC9ONo4KbnHVUKVSRYUZHtJa?dl=0

Sign waving: Labor and environment groups will be waving signs on Monday, February 7, from 2:30-4:30 pm in SE Seattle. Meet at the Starbucks (South Graham St and MLK) to get signs and then we’ll go to various nearby schools and wave signs, encouraging people to vote yes on the levies

Join WEA’s Digital Lobbying Team and Send Legislators a Short Video Message
WEA’s Digital Lobbying Team is made up of educators from across the state sharing their stories with legislators through recorded videos. It is one more way our members can communicate directly with legislators with the limited free time we have. If you are interested in learning more about the Digital Lobbying Team or how to join, check out their new video and webpage. Our goal is to make legislators see that educators and their students are more than numbers on spreadsheets.
