Help AAWA increase its presence with legislators in Olympia. Please join us on Wednesday, February 26, to help All Aboard Washington advocate for safer, more reliable, and more frequent passenger rail service connecting communities of all sizes, on both sides of the Cascades.
We'll provide information and tips for communicating with elected officials. You are also welcome to join us at the AAWA-sponsored lunch for the Legislative Rail Caucus at noon in the House Rules Room.
If you can attend, please contact your legislators to make appointments (or we can make arrangements for you), and contact us so that we know who will be joining us. Meet at 9:30 am at the Capitol steps on the north side of the Capitol building.
"The COVID Pandemic has been and continues to be the biggest challenge faced by Americans as it has taken a deadly toll on the world and on the world’s economies. During COVID Locomotive Engineers at Amtrak and other Passenger and Freight Railroads have embodied the definition of essential workers. This dedication by our members is not new. We applaud the Rail Passenger’s Association for recognizing the vital contributions of our members and their hard work moving Americans and freight during the COVID pandemic."
