Dear Representative [NAME],
I am writing to ask that you please support SHB 1107, which would create a Cultural Access Washington program. The Senate companion bill recently passed 44-4!
The bill is on the House calendar for consideration. I support of the bill and encourage you to vote in favor.
The Cultural Access Washington program gives local decision makers and voters a tool to increase access to cultural and educational experiences for children and adults across Washington State.
Cultural and Heritage organizations help make Washington a great place to live, work, and play. Access to these experiences advances education, drives the economy and jobs, and enriches our quality of life.
The Cultural Access Washington program is also a tool to use to help adequately fund arts education in Washington.
Please support SHB 1107.
Thank you for your consideration.
