There are less than two weeks left in this session and we need legislation to move. If bills are not passed this year, we just heard confirmation that 4Culture is going to start planning dramatic staff, services and funding programs cuts that will begin as early as January, 2011. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the first this reality has truly sunk in and we’re panicking.
\nSince the session started in January, we’ve seen at least 6 different bills proposed that would generate the support needed for 4Culture to continue to thrive. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately NONE of these bills has successfully moved through both the House and the Senate and time is running out.
\nWhat we need now is for every arts and heritage advocate in the state to write to their legislators with a general letter of support in the next few days. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even if you’ve already written a letter supporting specific bills, we need one last push to make sure that legislators understand that whatever name and number you put on the bill, we need ARTS and HERITAGE funding to be secured THIS YEAR.
\nPlease ask friends and family to do the same. Senators and Reps from all over the state will get to vote on this issue, so we need non-king county legislators to understand that their constituents are excited about strong funding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thursday night, 6-8, is a chance to participate in a pro-4Culture laptop rally in Pioneer Square. <\/font>The 4Culture Gallery? Best guess is, it’s going down, unless funding comes through at the last minute.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If you’re out and about for First Thursday, you can drop in, write a letter and be on your way. AtCaffe Vita in the Tashiro Kaplan building, 125 Prefontaine Pl S. (How to participate without leaving home, here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
