Delaware Working Families Party (WFP)
Universal Free School Lunch (HB 125) has passed the House Education Committee. The next step is the House Appropriations Committee. However, the Chair decides when a committee gets scheduled and what goes on the agenda. We’re asking people to send personalized emails to make sure it gets a hearing.
The Delaware Working Families Party will be launching our coordinated campaign on Saturday, May 4th. We'll be knocking doors, making calls, and otherwise supporting a slate of candidates across the state who are fighting for the multi-racial working class. Sign up below to get involved.
