⏰ Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Location: Virtual (link will be sent out as date approaches)

Join us for the launch of the Eastside Pathways Policy & Advocacy Task Force, a dedicated effort to amplify and empower Eastside Pathways partners and the East King County community in shaping impactful policy and advocacy efforts.

Who can join? Anyone interested in Policy!

Task Force Goals:

• Identify key stakeholders within and beyond the Eastside Pathways Partnership who have the will, experience, or connections to drive this work forward.
• Use data to understand the community’s top policy concerns.
• Determine the most relevant policy levels (municipal, county, state, federal) and sectors where Eastside Pathways should focus its efforts.
• Establish a shared policy agenda aligned with our key outcome areas: racial equity, mental health and well-being, early learning, high school graduation, post-secondary success, and employment.
• Develop decision-making criteria to prioritize the most critical policy issues.
• Address the gap between policy passage and policy implementation to ensure real impact.

This session will set the foundation for a collaborative and strategic approach to advocacy. We invite all partners interested in shaping policy efforts that drive systemic change.
