The Social Justice committee now meets on the second Tuesday of the month. At the March meeting, the committee continued work on the May unit materials and a forum on voting rights. Members reported on work with the Real Change Organizing Project and the Seattle League board’s endorsement of the petition to urge the City of Seattle to stop all non-emergency sweeps and focus instead on expanding housing with supportive services for those leaving homelessness.

Skagit Station
105 E. Kincaid
Mount Vernon, WA

The Transportation Committee is going for a special meeting and an outing in April. Our meeting date is the usual 3rd Tuesday—but we’re going to Mount Vernon to meet with Martha Rose, Director of Island Transit and Dale O’Brien, Director of Skagit Transit.
The meeting will be at Skagit Station, a multimodal transit center where the buses come in from Bellingham, from Whidbey and Camano Islands, and from Everett—and where Greyhound and Amtrak also come in.
The reason the meeting time is a bit later than usual is so Leaguers from Bellingham and the islands can consider coming to the meeting—and coming by bus. Those of us going north from the Puget Sound region will probably want to carpool, because the bus schedules don’t work well for us. BUT! If we carpool, at least some of us plan to go on over to see the tulip fields after the meeting. It’s that time of year. So, please consider joining us for the April meeting in Mount Vernon.

Start: 5:30 pm

New Everett Theatre
2911 Colby Ave.
Everett, WA

All the evidence indicates that there is a major health care crisis in the United States, one that will only become worse as costs spiral upward and access and effectiveness decrease. In light of these problems, the League of Women Voters of Washington has taken a position in support of a universal health care system. In the spirit of this position, we offer our forum as a way to involve the public in examining our present state, the kind of health care system we want and need, and the actions needed to attain it.
A panel of very knowledgeable national and local figures will present and discuss their views. Members include John Geyman, M.D., Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine, U.W. School of Medicine; Grant Hendrickson, Ph.D., former Trustee of Group Health Cooperative; Don Howard, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman, CellNetix Pathology and Laboratories, Seattle; and Kathleen O'Connor, founder and CEO of CodeBlueNow!, a national grass-roots organization that examines health care system issues and solutions. We are hoping that a state legislator, and perhaps a local Congressman, will be able to join the panel to discuss the political realities. The audience will be invited to participate with questions, comments and ideas.
