Who will we see there?

Educate, Entertain, and Get Stuff Done is hosting a unique experience on Tuesday, May 19, at Dry Fly Distillery: a Cultural Immersion Dinner honoring food traditions in the Black community.

This is not simply a meal. It is an experience rooted in heritage, connection, and appreciation for the staples that have given us more than nutrition. They have helped shape memory, identity, and culture.

Tickets are still available. Head over to the page for “Educate, Entertain, and Get Stuff Done” to secure your seat through GiveButter.

This is not a meal. It is a journey.

We're looking forward to attending the 3rd Legislative District Community Town Hall this Thursday!

Join your 3rd District delegation for an in-person town hall on Thursday, April 23 from 6-7:30pm! The event will be held in Lair Auditorium at Spokane Community College.

I’ll be joined by Sen. Marcus Riccelli and Rep. Timm Ormsby for an in-person town hall where we’ll provide updates, answer your questions, and most importantly, listen. These conversations shape the work we take on next, so we hope to see you there!

PLEASE NOTE: If you or your organization need an interpreter for ASL, Spanish or any other language, please contact our office ASAP and we will work to get staffing.

Luc has always been about bringing people together, and we’re excited to stand by him in his campaign for Washington’s Third Legislative District.

Through Takeall, he’s helped build a coalition that takes action—securing partnerships, aligning organizations, and bringing in funding through joint applications that actually supports local work.

A few of the things he has helped lead this past year:
• Takeall’s first Advocacy Day in Olympia (2026)�
• Securing our first lobbyist this legislative session
• Our first local Capital Campaign Summit (October 2025)
• Community bill signing watch parties to keep people informed and engaged
• Strategic funding development & partnership resulting in over $1 million being awarded to local community organizations

Luc sees leadership in others and makes space for it. He lifts people up, pushes them forward, and makes sure the work doesn’t stop with him ✊🏾

We can’t wait to see both Rep. Natasha Hill and Luc in Olympia!
