Political Action

Legislative Alerts Seth Dawson is our contract lobbyist in Olympia. Using our annual legislative agenda as a guide, Seth works closely with legislators, educating them and encouraging them to enact legislation that will make it easier to end homelessness in Washington State. But Seth can't do it alone. He relies on e-activists like you to help deliver the message to your legislators. E-mail Seth to get on our e-activist network, and receive alerts throughout the legislative session. Seth's alerts will be available throughout the session on our Legislative Alerts page.   Washington State Legislature Click here to learn more about our state's legislature and to identify and contact your legislators.   Nationwide Advocacy WSCH receives updates and alerts on federal legislation affecting homelessness, and advocates for funding and public policy that supports our mission to end homelessness.
