Who's excited for this year's legislative session?

Who's excited for this year's legislative session? 🎉 We're excited to announce the legislative buckets that the Bus will be focusing on for 2024!

Our priorities this season:
🎮 Democracy Done Right
📚 Pre-K to BA, Slay
🍃 Tax the Rich, Fund the People
💥 Let Youth Thrive

Keep an eye out for updates on bills we're working on as well as opportunities to take action and share your thoughts with (b)us on the issues you care about.

...and if you're interested in a little secret on *how* to stay plugged in, we're going to start meeting every week for a little drop in session to talk about how things work and what you can do at every stage in the legislative process -- and don't worry, it's low pressure and via zoom! Join our Rapid Action Team @ bit(.)ly/WABUSleg24

We're excited to see where we go with our Winterns—and hope you'll follow along with us, whether it's tuning in for updates, tuning in virtually by signing in pro for bills, or testifying on issues before your state representatives!
