We are repeating our successful series of four conversations about civics on Saturdays in April with revisions and calls to action due to our turbulent political climate. We ask that you watch a 57 minute video for this conversation so that we begin on common ground. In subsequent conversations, we will read sections of The State We‘re In: Washington, and other resources. Come to one or all on Zoom. When you register, you will receive the plan for our conversation and the zoom link.

Americans are fed up with the Musk-Trump power grab and want an end to the lawless raiding of our government.
“Hands off!” is a simple rallying cry against an administration that’s dangerously overreaching and throwing our democracy, our economy, and for many -- our private lives -- into chaos. We‘re joining with Olympia Indivisible and others to say...
Hands off our Medicaid.
Hands off our Social Security.
Hands off our public lands.
Hands off our jobs.
Hands off public education.
Hands off veterans’ benefits.
Hands off our undocumented neighbors.
Hands off our trans siblings.
Hands of Ukraine aid.
Hands off our diversity programs.
Hands off Canada,
Hands off our reproductive rights.
Hands off our democracy.

Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, Salmon Defense, and the Olympia Film Society present: Fish War
Olympia Film Society, 206 5th Avenue SE
Olympia, WA 98501
When the state of Washington made it illegal for tribes to fish for salmon in their usual and accustomed places, it was a declaration of war. FISH WAR follows the tribes’ fight to exercise their treaty-reserved fishing rights. A landmark court case in 1974 would affirm the tribes’ treaty rights and establish them as co-managers of the resource, but the fate of salmon in the Pacific Northwest still hangs in the balance.
Post-film Q&A w/ Willie Frank III, Nisqually; Kadi Bizyayeva, Stillaguamish; Lisa Wilson, Lummi; and WDFW Director Kelly Susewind
