Advocacy isn’t just a concept—it’s an action. As we explored in How to be an Advocate, using your voice is about building strength, connection, and resistance alongside the people around you. It is about turning your motivation into movement.
On Tuesday, February 10, 2026, you have the chance to take that movement directly to the steps of the Capitol.
Turning Motivation into Action
Join your fellow students on a delegation to Olympia, WA, to advocate directly to state legislators. This isn’t just a field trip; it is a critical opportunity to defend the essential financial aid programs that make our community possible, including the College Bound Scholarship and the Washington College Grant.
By participating, you aren’t just speaking for yourself. You are helping secure the future of financial access for current and prospective PLU students. You are ensuring that the door remains open for those who come next.
The Details
When: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
Time: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM PST
Where: Bus departs from PLU to Olympia, WA
Advocacy is a way to pave a path forward for ourselves and those around us. It can be intimidating to speak to legislators, but remember: power is in numbers. You won’t be alone; you’ll be with a bus full of fellow Lutes ready to make an impact.
Secure Your Spot
We are looking for students ready to turn their passion into policy. Space on the bus is limited, and submitting your interest early is key.
Important Registration Notice
Please note that submitting the form expresses your interest in joining the delegation, but it does not guarantee a seat on the bus. Due to limited capacity, we will be confirming attendance individually. You will be notified whether you have a reserved spot no later than the first week of January 2026.
We look forward to advocating with you! If you have any questions, please email studentvoice@plu.edu.
Lutes stand together! My voice can protect financial aid.
