For the fourth straight year, America In Solidarity held a booth at Tacoma's Ethnic Fest. AIS volunteers gave away free balloons, registered voters, talked about working families and the political conditions facing them. We collected hundreds of signatures asking Pierce County and local cities to send a resolution to the legislature and Congress demanding affordable health care.

Thanks to AIS volunteers Mary Retallick (who sat behind the table almost the whole weekend), Marilyn Kimmerling, Kayla Saville, Suzette Widdison, Patricia George, Anders Ibsen, Jeff Richardson and Todd Iverson for helping out.
