Join FAN for our 2024 SPRING SUMMIT on JUNE 9. We will gather with advocates from all across Washington to celebrate FAN’s wins in the past year and consider what steps we might take together in the year ahead. We will meet as a large group for part of our time together, and also break out into smaller groups based on specific issues of concern to you. This event is open to all advocates and will be online. We will send out a link to all registered participants about a week prior to the event.
Come network with others from your area and help us find the best ways to advocate for the change we want to see in our state!

During the Spring Summits, we will:

Celebrate our advocacy and policy wins this session! FAN’s Policy Engagement Director, Kristin Ang, will share a virtual recap of the legislative session with a Q&A.
Connect around the shared values that ground our advocacy and deepen our local relationships. Reflect on our personal and faith community engagement in advocacy this past year. What was life-affirming/fulfilling? What FAN resources helped? What alternate or other forms of engagement would be helpful in the future?
Plan for how we can act and build power together for justice, compassion, and sustainability in the months ahead as we prepare for the next legislative session and the many challenges facing our communities.
We recognize that communities outside of the Puget Sound area have fewer options or need to travel a longer distance to join a Summit in person. If there is not a Summit location within close enough driving distance, please contact us if you would like an organizer to assist you in planning a FAN gathering in your community in the months ahead. Kristin’s livestream will be available by recording after the event.

We offer this event freely and we appreciate your generosity in supporting our work. Use the donate link below to be directed to our click and pledge giving platform.
