3) Get it to the Governors Desk to be signed.

****CALL/EMAIL NOW, By March 10****
The Black Prisoners Caucus has given us our marching orders. We want an anti-racist, holistic LFO Reform that includes the elimination of non-restitution interest rate, an equitable assessment of a person’s ability to pay, and a community service alternative.

Goodman, O’ban, Ranker, Frockt Holy, Jinkins, Stokesbury, & Padden, Hasegawa & Jayapal as well as ALL Senators.
