Our Latino communities are also among those most impacted by wildfire. Friday, @LCFWA & @progresowa1 testified that dedicated funding would boost community-led work to strengthen community resilience among Spanish-speaking residents. Our wildfire crisis is an equity issue. #WAleg

Without an accurate count, our state risks losing out on $16 billion dollars of funding per year for our schools, roads, and hospitals. Get involved in #2020Census. Contact your state legislature today at bit.ly/2JX1hYT #WACounts #waleg... facebook.com/ProgresoWA/post…
