Join us in voting NO!

Every child should be free to be themselves, learn and grow, and feel safe at school. But initiatives I-001 and I-638 are playing politics with our kids and threatening children’s safety.

When your ballot arrives in a few weeks, vote NO on I-001 and I-638.

We’re coming together as part of a statewide Day of Action. Organizers are calling for a statewide moratorium on new AI data centers and stronger regulations while communities ask serious questions about water, power, infrastructure, land use, noise, and transparency.

We’ll gather at Riverfront Park, hear from guest speakers, and march through downtown Spokane to make sure these concerns are part of the public conversation.

Spokane is not alone. Communities across Washington are organizing on October 4 around these same issues.

Come stand with your community. Bring a sign. Bring a friend. Make your voice heard.

Sign up here and please share across the county:
