Come and get your questions answered about the 2022 Washington state legislative session, including:

• What is a ‘short’ legislative session and what is its purpose?
• What is in the final budget and how will it help youth who have experienced foster care and unaccompanied homelessness?
• What bills were passed this year that will affect these same populations?
