As the owner of Be a Seed for Change,

My mission is to bring real attention to issues on both the local and national level. I feel a strong sense of responsibility to not just raise money but also join other grassroots organizations to bring real change to the lives of the people in communities who just need a hand up not a hand out… giving back

I have been an activist for years. I am also a blogger of social and political issues. Was one of several parents who volunteered at our local food bank in association with our daycare provider, which led to starting a food bank drive at a job. I have also supported and raised money for great organizations that do amazing things like Shelter Box USA.

Our Focus is on creative live local events  ~~   Dance for a cause,  SWAP Meet, Book Review, Signing & Sales , Art Show & Sales , Movie Night

 

 

Reinvesting in Washington


What would we cut if there was nothing left?

Year after year, our state held the budget together by cutting services and delaying investments in our future. And Washington families have been unfairly left to pick up the check for what’s left.

But at some point, we have to take a stand. We have to be willing to make a real investment in the future of our children and our grandchildren — and that’s what my 2015 budget will do.

Are you ready to take a stand for a working Washington? Click here to declare your support for my 2015 budget plan.

This isn’t another plan that puts a Band-Aid on our budget problems. This plan is sustainable, responsible, and fair. It champions the values we care about most, from education to cleaner, healthier communities — and I need your help to make it a reality.

Do you believe we must stop climate change before it’s too late by charging our state’s biggest polluters?

Do you believe we can’t stop at making overdue repairs to roads and bridges — that we must create jobs building the transportation infrastructure of tomorrow?

Do you believe it’s time to invest in our schools and lead the country by making some of our largest and smartest investments in education ever — from pre-K to college and job training?

Do you believe our budget should be rooted in fairness?

If your answer to any of these questions is yes, I need you to step up and sign my petition — right now.

Help me pass a budget that reinvests in the future of Washington. Click here to declare your support.

This is bigger than just one year’s budget. This is about moving our state in a new direction, and I need your help to get there.

Thanks for standing with me today and in the days ahead.

Very truly yours,

Jay Inslee
