This is a short episode with a special and urgent call-to-action asking listeners to support Kim Harless by taking some time to write or testify to the Charter Review Commission, demanding a charter amendment to make changes to the Salary Review Commission to RAISE THE PAY for Vancouver City Councilmembers and make this a full-time position so that people who want to serve are no longer locked out on the basis of class and race. Listen to learn more, realize how crucial this issue is for advancing progressive policy, and use the talking points we’ve laid out for you. Email Aaron Lande, liaison for the Charter Review Commission, your comments and/or plan on attending the next Charter Review Committee meeting on Tuesday, March 19th from 5-7pm. Let’s get those comments in before then as well!
