Are you ready to get loud? Arts, Heritage, and Science Week happens every February, and you’re invited. Inspire WA hosts constituents from every district in the state to go to Olympia to advocate for arts, heritage, and science. Adriana’s heading to the capitol on Wednesday, but before she goes, she’s giving us an overview of some of the important bills to keep an eye on during this legislative session, including the WAVE Act, a new bill to support public radio and media called HB 2579, and tax bill SB 5814. Can’t make it to Olympia? You can still make your voice heard. Let’s go!
