NEW DATE: Poverty Action at the Capitol
Unfortunately, due to snow and ice we were unable to celebrate Dr. King's legacy on his holiday. We have rescheduled our annual lobby day for President's Day, February 20th. We will be speaking out against proposed budget cuts to basic need programs and will urge the legislature to raise revenue to protect our communities.
