Many organizations encourage a NO vote on the state referendum. Here's a good explainer about it from UW Law School. 

Because the school district has not yet completed its climate action plan, a no vote on the school referendum will send a message that climate action and carbon emissions consequences of demolition and building must take a higher priority than did not consider it as the district moves forward.

Please, vote so Project 2025, the TheoBros, Project Esther, Agenda 47, and the orange fascist do not control our climate, justice, health, economic, education, environmental, commerce, personal rights, and human rights future. For most of us, it's not an easy or a joyful vote, alas.

"Every four years we are told that this election may be our last. We were told that in 2016. Back then, I was a teller, and few believed me. By 2020, people understood the danger and voted to protect democracy. But the assumption was that once in power, Biden would remedy the conditions that allowed a career criminal and his cohort to take power, instead of acting as a de facto accomplice. 

"Now it’s 2024 and officials are not even pretending to care. Eight years take a toll. Americans trust each other less, love each other less, blame each other more. People should blame the institutions that betrayed us instead. They do not work for us and they are not sentimental about our survival." - Sarah Kendzior, Totem and Taboo
