Regional Fiber Advocacy Series: Activating Your Advocacy

Regional and national legislation directly impacts our regional fiber economy here in the Pacific Northwest.

This series is important to businesses and consumers alike because ultimately everything we do — the machines we purchase, the money we make, the yarn we buy — is attached to the law.

Because the fiber economy is strongly bonded to the general economy, even laws and regulations that don’t sound like they would affect us, do. So let’s talk about it and let's learn how we can take action, together.

🛠 In this seminar, we’ll discuss tools we have right now to make our voices heard and affect change that supports a healthy, vibrant regional fiber economy for the PNW.
