Standing with Our Somali Neighbors - HCFA-WA & PNHP-WA

Spokane Peace and Justice Action Conference
The Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane (PJALS) is hosting their annual Peace and Justice Action Conference. This event invites us to move from survival to vision – beyond reaction and into response. Rooted in real-world struggle and guided by imagination, we’re gathering to build futures shaped by care, creativity, strategy, and solidarity.
Spokane for Whole Washington will be leading a discussion on “Universal Healthcare in Washington State: The Plan to Win and How You Can Be Part of It.”
We hope to see you there!
Spokane End the Violence Conference
Spokane for Whole Washington will be presenting at the upcoming End the Violence Conference, a major regional gathering focused on preventing and responding to domestic violence and strengthening survivor-centered systems of care.
Whole WA’s presentation will explore the intersection of universal healthcare, survivor wellbeing, and long-term violence prevention—highlighting how access to consistent, affordable healthcare is essential for safety, healing, and economic stability.
Tabling at Esther Short Park

Opposite House Cutoff
Until 5 p.m., last day to consider opposite house bills with the exception of budgets, matters necessary to implement budgets, matters that affect state revenue, initiatives to the legislature and alternatives, differences between the two houses, and business related to the interim or closing the session.
Phonebank for Universal Healthcare
Whole Washington hosts weekly phone banking events on Thursdays from 4:30-6:00 pm. Whole Washington phone banking events are hosted via Zoom so the facilitator is available to support you as you make calls. These will be super easy calls, targeting Whole WA supporters, asking them to attend local events or otherwise get involved – so we can win. We hope to see you there!
No Cuts to Care for Immigrants Rally
This year, thousands of immigrants will lose access to their health care just because they're immigrants. An estimated 30,000-40,000 are losing their affordable health insurance, including 2,700 elders and people with disabilities who face losing their caregivers and 10,000 who have already lost assistance. Washington lawmakers have stepped up to fund care for some through state long-term care, Apple Health Expansion, and Cascade Care Savings -- but under the budgets they've proposed, most will still lose care.
We need to send a clear message in Olympia: no one should lose access to care just because of where they were born. There's still time for our state lawmakers to fix the budget and fund care for all.
Join us on Tuesday March 3rd in Olympia to tell legislators: no cuts to care for immigrants.
