The League of Women Voters of Bellingham/Whatcom County is pleased to announce the release of They Represent You, the League’s directory of government officials.
The directory, known as the “TRY,” includes contact information for local, state, and national officials. It also includes contact information for school boards and districts, the Whatcom Conservation District, judges, Port of Bellingham, public utility district, and many more.
The League is co-presenting showings of this film at the Pickford on September 18 at 6:30 pm and September 22 at 3:00 pm. Tickets & Trailer are available here: LWV Member Jill Bernstein will moderate a panel discussion following both screenings to provide an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and talk about the film and it's relevance to our local and national political scene. Panelists include local attorney Phil Buri, and educators Kay Wolsborn and Michou Yenokida.
Join the League and the Bellingham Public Library on April 21 for an educational program, "Voting: The Heart of Democracy." Diana Bradrick, Whatcom County Chief Deputy Auditor, will discuss voting patterns in local, state, and federal elections; voting integrity in Whatcom County; and how to engage voters. We will also hear from Margaret Morales, Senior Research Associate at Sightline Institute, and the group FairVote Whatcom. Enter through the doors off the green at the back library (210 Central Avenue, Bellingham); doors open at 9:30 a.m., and the program begins at 10 a.m.
Our goal is to make all LWVBWC events and materials accessible to individuals with disabilities. Please inform info@LWVBellinghamWhatcom.com of any barriers you may encounter, and request modifications or accommodations that will make our activities and information accessible to you. We will do our best to accommodate all needs, but we cannot guarantee that accessibility will be available in every instance."
