Hello! There are a lot of rumors swirling around the arts, culture and recreational state of the City of Moses Lake.
We have done research and had many conversations with folks in the industry and around town, and in conclusion have decided to help organize a Letter Writing Campaign. This campaign is to share our concerns with the City of Moses Lake's Financial Stability Plan, and their solutions to the City's current and project budget deficit.
Namely, we are concerned that current City services for arts, cultural and recreation programs, facilities and jobs are being reduced. We are not OK with this! We believe there are other options! We believe that not all the plans the City has are bad... just that they are going about them in ways that do not respect the history and investment they hold.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! And we want the City to hear from you, too. Please join us in our Letter Writing Campaign. Please share this with others on your socials. Please tell your friends, neighbors, parents, kids... folks you know who have moved away but still love these services and facilities... only when the community speak up do our elected officials know they are not in line with those who elected them.
PLEASE help us to keep our arts, cultural and recreational services at current capacity in Moses Lake and let everyone know that these are not optional services - they are essential to the wellbeing, quality of life and foundational fabric our not only Moses Lake but the entire Basin.
This is not meant to be sensational, it is meant to be an easy-to-access opportunity for folks to get their voice heard in a meaningful way. We are not providing any personal or private information for any program or person involved - all information included in this campaign is public.
You can learn more about the Letter Writing Campaign, including instructions on how to participate, a sample letter, who to contact, and a page on our research that show our concerns are valid. The following link will take you to a Google Folder created by Columbia Basin Allied Arts.
