> One way to show our commitment to justice is to attend this big, public event. I am inviting people to go with me to the NEHEMIAH Action Assembly.  I wouldn’t want you to miss out on this opportunity to “show up” for justice! 
> Your presence at the NEHEMIAH is vital. Critically important is our ability to show public officials the number of people committed to matters of justice. This “people power” encourages officials to engage in matters of justice knowing that citizens are with them! Help us reach our goal of 1,800 people attending.
> Issues that will be presented to our local officials are the Housing Trust Fund and the mental health crisis. Housing is lacking for over 7,000 families in our community. Typically, people experiencing a mental health crisis have nowhere to go except jail.
> Remember Lee Arena has plenty of seats, including floor seats, for us to be able to follow distancing if that is our preference.  There is also parking in front and to the South of the Arena. Washburn does ask for masks to be worn in all buildings on campus.
