A few takeaways for faculty. Please feel free to share with your campuses.</div>

<ul>
<li>Be on the lookout for legislative town halls or even campaign forums where you can ask legislators and candidates to support the community college system. </li><li>Look at the voters guide to see the positions advocated by candidates: <a href="https://voter.votewa.gov/genericvoterguide.aspx?e=865&c=99#/" id="LPNoLP272596">https://voter.votewa.gov/genericvoterguide.aspx?e=865&c=99#/</a></li><li>It is currently doubtful <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important">(speculation)</span> that there will be a special session of the legislature before the November
election. It is also possible that any special session or the regular session in January may be remote. This will require creative thinking about how to get involved in the process and how meet with legislators. </li><li>Concerning the latest ICE ruling on international students; Harvard, MIT, and likely a number of state attorneys general will be seeking injunctive relief to stop implementation of the rule for Fall. </li><li>Seek ways to help alumni advocate for the community colleges. Seattle Central, with private grant money (talk to your foundations on your campuses) has set up a web site to encourage outside support: <a href="https://sccadvocates.org/" id="LPNoLP807084">https://sccadvocates.org/</a> </li></ul>
