At We Care Arts, that could look like:
- The loss of up to 2,000 hours of monthly programming, including mental health supports, peer connections, and safe community spaces for those living with economic hardship.
- The disappearance of up to 286 monthly classes for individuals with developmental disabilities, reducing opportunities for integration and growth.
- The loss of 800+ hours of creative skill-building in special education classrooms each month, where students often do not have access to art.
- Reduced support for job training and employment pathways—over 90 hours of training per month that help individuals find purpose and independence.
We’ve seen the difference this levy makes. Since 2023, our artist-clients with patterns of annual hospitalization have cut their hospitalizations by more than half. Each avoided hospitalization saves thousands of dollars in community supported Medicaid costs while protecting lives and families. This is the kind of ripple effect that the levy makes possible.
We need your help to spread the word. Talk to your neighbors, your friends, your faith communities—anyone who will listen. Share that a Yes vote does not raise taxes, but protects vital services that save money, save lives, and build a stronger, more inclusive community.
Together, we can keep the promise of hope, healing, and opportunity alive.
Thank you for standing with us—always. Your support fuels the creativity, courage, and community we see every single day.
As always with gratitude and hope,
