City Council Candidate Forum on Disability Issues

City Council Candidate Forum on Disability Issues

Join us for a Seattle City Council candidate forum focusing on the top disability issues and priorities in our local community. The event will feature candidates for the D2, D8, and D9 races. This event is being organized in coordination with a coalition of local disability organizations, along with our national sponsor, the American Association of People with Disabilities. The first thirty minutes of the event are for mingling and snacking, and the Q&A will begin at 6:00pm.

We truly want this forum to reflect the concerns and priorities of our community. Please use this Google Form to submit any questions you would like us to ask the candidates.
