WPC's Eric Zimmerman has testified at recent Spokane City Council meetings, offering his expertise on homelessness, addiction and public safety. At a recent meeting where Eric testified, WPC President Steven Hatting was there and observed additional testimony from a grade school girl, Annika, who described how she would walk dogs to raise money but had to carry mace and change walking patterns because of threatening behavior from wandering addicts.
Her testimony was a perfect illustration of why policy matters, how it impacts lives, and the importance of Eric's work.
Annika and her family were invited as guests to our Spokane Annual Dinner Event. Her brother was a fan of the new WPC playing cards that feature WPC state policy recommendations and will no doubt learn key policy information whenever he and his sister play cards.
