5/27 Olympia Meetings Cancelled

Earlier today, Amy Lillard was in Olympia and learned that budget negotiations between the House and Senate do not appear to be moving forward as quickly as hoped.  It is our understanding that the legislature is no longer scheduled to be in Olympia tomorrow.

So, our lobbying team has suggested that we cancel tomorrow’s Advocacy Day and reschedule this opportunity when we are certain elected officials will be available.

What is certain, however, is that your time, presence, and support are valuable.  We will be working to coordinate meetings with key legislators while they are at home in district.  Please stay tuned.

Thank you for your continued efforts to Keep Film In WA.
