“We need health care, yes we do
We need health care, how about you?”

On Jan. 18, the voices of over 600 people filled the streets of Olympia as part of the 2010 People’s Summit.

That morning, people from across the state gathered at the Capitol Theater to attend workshops about the budget and how to lobby your lawmaker.

Carrying signs and stories, we marched on the capitol to voice our concerns for communities across the state. At the state Capitol, people rallied on the stairs and listened to stories from the people.
