One of the first steps in getting involved is writing a Letter to the Editor. On page 40, we have contact information for publications in Pierce County and suggestions on how to get your letter printed. You can also write, phone, or e-mail any elected official in the county, as well as state and federal government officials, using the information on pages 4-34. Your best chance of being heard is to stand in front of the individual who represents you. Included in the directory are the meeting times for all city/town councils, neighborhood/ community councils, school boards, and other groups in the County.

This guide leads you through the process of working with others on your issue of choice. A good starting point for issue information is the LWV of Washington website, www.lwvwa.org. This comprehensive site has links to information about ballot issues, political parties, campaign finance reform, and citizen watchdog groups. Finally, we have included information on how to support or choose a candidate on page 40. The League does not endorse any political party or candidate, but this information can help YOU decide how to use your vote. Contact information for the political parties is on page 38.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
