A function of the External Affairs
Department of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, our
Government Affairs Subcommittee works tirelessly to protect
the partnership between Government, our beneficiary agencies
and the clients they serve.
This includes legislative advocacy
work, grassroots organizing, community education and coalition-building.
Each week during the annual legislative session, our Government
Affairs Director, produces an "Action Alert" which
summarizes current community legislative priorities and actions
that you can take to help promote community interests. Whenever decisions that affect
Washington's Jewish community are being made, we will email
you an Action Alert. The alert will give you
brief background information, the action that is needed, and provide
an easy way to contact your legislators. During the state legislative
session, we will send alerts every week. This is easy. Do you have questions about
contacting your legislators?
When you receive the Action Alert,
all you have to do is take five minutes to contact the policy-maker
and give them the message provided for you. Whether you use
email or the toll-free legislative hotline, contacting elected
officials is quick and easy. This rapid response system will
create rapid results for our Jewish community.
It's easy. Just fill out the signup
form and hit the "submit" button!
