Dear Supporter of Access for All,<\/p>\n

On behalf of Cultural Access Washington, thank you again for your financial support of the\u00a0Access for All<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0campaign. As you have seen, the measure came within about 7,500 votes of passing out of more than 437,000 votes cast. It is a blow to lose, particularly by such a narrow margin.\u00a0 Still, with your support, our campaign accomplished much.<\/p>\n

Although the measure was defeated, the effort to broaden access to cultural activities is very much alive. The board of Cultural Access Washington<\/a> is now at work with a task force to analyze election results and recommend a path forward which may include another run at the ballot for Access for All.<\/p>\n

This effort started more than a decade ago. It is obviously challenging, but the benefits of passing a measure\u2014especially one that incorporates all that has been learned through these past months\u2014is a goal very much worth pursuing.<\/p>\n

We will continue to keep you posted on next steps. Thank you for your strong and inspiring support. We are confident that together we will pass a program that will serve all members of this region for many years to come.<\/p>\n

Best Regards,<\/p>\n
