LOCATION: Seattle Labor Temple, 2800 1st Ave. between Clay and Broad Get involved with this and other local labor issues for a fair economy. Saturday, April 16, 9 am – 4 pm Western Washington Fellowship of Reconciliation's Spring Assembly "Fair Elections for a Fair Economy" LOCATION: Fauntleroy UCC Church 9260 California Ave SW (in West Seattle, near the Fauntleroy ferry) Many of the issues we care about – peace, environment, economic justice, etc. – are being rolled back by big money that controls election campaigns and intimidates incumbents and candidates. Virtually every issue that we care about is held hostage to big money’s corrupting effects on democracy, so one solution to all of our issues would be to create a system for fair and equal public funding of campaigns. Keynote speaker, Craig Salins, Executive Director of Washington Public Campaigns will also lead a workshop. Other workshops throughout the day.
