10th Anniversary of Welfare Reform

Tuesday, August 22nd
Join us at the WROC office, 701 Franklin Street SE, at 11 am to march to Governor Gregoire’s office to present our mural showing the faces of the people she might be affecting with her full family sanction policy.

Help us continue the message that the welfare reform we would like to see in Washington would include policies that support low-income parents to leave poverty, not policies that punish children and increase suffering.

Volunteer meetings are every Wednesday at 1:30

Contact WROC anytime!
