Signs will be available or bring your own. Even if you don’t live in District 5, showing up to show your support will be appreciated!

  • And if you’re not sure why it’s so important that Jamie wins the May primary, read this illuminating article in The Intercept.

We Care Update As the US braces for the arrival of Ukrainian refugees, we continue to support the Afghan families in our midst. Indeed, the best way to prepare for the arrival of Ukrainian refugees is to continue taking care of Afghan refugees now. The more settled they are, the better we will be able to assist new arrivals. To sign up to welcome both Afghan and Ukrainian refugees to the US, go hereand to fund needed supplies either donate via the Lutheran Community Services Northwest website or visit the wish list on Amazon.
