Call your representative if you think mental health is a worthy investment.

Call if you think gun safety is crucial.

Call if you think prioritizing both would keep our community safe.

Take your heartbreak and put it into action. Your voice matters, use it.

An Executive Order was signed yesterday that shifts funding away from evidence-based programs & focuses it on punishing drug use, urban camping & loitering.

Social Security helps real people who are already struggling to get by. Cutting staff or closing offices makes it even harder for those in rural areas to access the benefits needed to survive.⁠

25% of our state's population. 1 in 4 people. Protecting this program protects real people.
