American Heart Association Virtual Day of Action
In 2022, we’re aiming to make our voices heard in Washington State, even if we have to do it virtually! Register for our virtual 2022 Day of Action event, on Wednesday, January 19th. This year we are honored to jointly host this event with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network.
Join us in the fight for legislative solutions to build a healthier Washington. This year our focus will be on tobacco control measures including:
- Increasing the e-cigarette tax to a truly impactful level to reduce the number of young people starting the addictive habit.
- Advocating for increased funding for tobacco prevention and cessation programs.
- Reforming law enforcement practices for minors with or suspected of purchasing, using or possessing commercial tobacco to focus on the retailers who sell to those under the legal purchase age.
By meeting with your lawmakers, you will have the opportunity to impact lives of thousands of people across our state. Even though we’re virtual we’ll have an impactful day/week of action, including issue briefings, social media activities, and time to ask your lawmakers to support these important issues.
Never participated in a virtual meeting with your lawmaker? Don’t worry! We will provide you with training and everything you will need to be successful.
If you have any questions, please contact Grace Henscheid, Washington Grassroots Manager, at [email protected]
