We urge Audubon members and friends in the Olympia area to attend one or more of these hearings on the Capitol campus to pack the rooms with support for the bills! When you attend, you can sign in PRO for the bill on the monitor, which goes on the public record. Recommendations are also welcome for folks (professors, business owners, health professionals, clean energy developers, etc.) who can testify articulately on these issues at the hearings. Talking points will be provided.
