Advocacy in action!

Thank you to every Husky who represented UW Tacoma at Huskies on the Hill this year. By meeting with legislators and sharing your lived experiences, you helped elevate student voices and strengthen our campus presence at the state level.
We are proud of your leadership, professionalism, and commitment to serving our community.

We need your help!

On Thursday, January 28th at 1:30 p.m. Senator Boehnke has sponsored a bill that would cause students to repay ALL financial aid if determined to have caused "significant monetary damage" to their institution. If a student is involved in a protest and deemed to have caused serious damage to property, they'll be court-ordered to repay all of their financial aid.

Currently, our institutions have codes of conduct that determine and punish property damage, and repayment of state aid is an incredibly drastic consequence and only impacts low-income students reliant on financial aid. We find this to be unfair and dangerous to students.

Express your opinion!! Sign in CON to SB 6259 before 1:30 p.m.

You've now successfully helped protect low-income students from incurring unnecessary financial debt. I do not support property damage to our university, but if this bill became law tomorrow, the definitions & powers to force students to repay financial aid is dangerous and left heavily up to interpretation. Let's prevent that future by showing legislators how we feel.

What’s next for UW Tacoma?

Huskies on the Hill 🏛️💜
Join students from all UW campuses in Olympia for a full day of advocacy, community, and real impact. Huskies on the Hill is a tri-campus lobby day where we come together to support shared student priorities, meet directly with legislators, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how state policymaking actually works.

Interested in student advocacy, policy, or making change on campus? 📣
The Student Legislative Action Council (SLAC) is a student-led group within ASUWT that researches issues affecting UW Tacoma students, shapes legislative priorities, and amplifies student voices at the local and state level.

Whether you’re new to advocacy or already involved on campus, this is a great space to learn, collaborate, and turn student concerns into action. If you are interested, please scan the QR Code on the graphic!

No experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to engage. Your voice belongs in the conversation.

Additionally, for SLAC, I have also drafted an Email Template. It would be greatly appreciated if you could send those emails out to our student body.
