February General Membership meeting notes
The General Membership meeting was yesterday (2/15). We had a very long and very nice visit from Richard Conlin, the Seattle City Council President. The membership had lots of great questions and I’m sure the question and answer session could have gone on for hours.
We were also visited by Cara Bilodeau of Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest. She talked about the various issues around funding family planning & cuts that have been proposed.
She also talked about bills HB1366 and SB5274 (the Limited Service Pregnancy Center Accountability Act). Details for both can be found here:

Exclusive Briefing on Congress with Darcy Burner
This isn’t a 11th LD event, so it’s not going on the official calendar, but some of the 11th LD membership might be interested in this. These events are on February 17th & 18th.
Are you wondering how progressives can fix Congress?
You are cordially invited to an exclusive discussion about progressives and Congress with Darcy Burner, former candidate for Washington’s 8th Congressional District and current President of ProgressiveCongress.org. She has spent the past two years working with the Congressional Progressive Caucus and key progressive groups and leaders.
