Folks, make sure to fill out your ballot and turn it into a dropbox as soon as possible! If you're mailing in your ballot, you have to do it now or never—postmarking issues may cause your vote not to be counted.

Bus love!

Just in time for the GOTV season for our favorite Spokane candidates—the Bus Spokane team rocked the walk and knocked doors for superstar Spokane City Council Candidates Sarah Dixit, Kate Telis, and Zack Zappone—who are ALL up for election this November 4th ballot.

In Washington State, we're seeing candidates for elected office backtrack on their values, tell our youth community one thing and then turn around and tell their donors another thing. We're here to take accountability and stand in solidarity with our trans peers.
