Remaining sessions are at noon on Nov. 21 and 24.

The nonpartisan League of Women Voters of Washington is organizing free “train-the-trainer” sessions to teach you how to help prepare residents to tell the five-member Washington State Redistricting Commission late next Spring how district boundaries for elected officials should be drawn. The League is recruiting volunteers from broad cultural, ethnic, political and religious backgrounds to train Speak-up School leaders to prepare the public to testify. Once trained, you’ll be able to facilitate Speak-Up School sessions in early Spring that will prepare people to testify before the commissioners, who will take testimony as they travel throughout the state in late Spring. To register to be a train-the-trainer, go to speakup.brownpapertickets.com.
