Alice Woldt will speak about the corruption of money in politics. Alice is the current Education Fund chair and former Executive Director of Fix Democracy First, a statewide nonprofit that works to achieve fair elections and government policies that reflect the will of the people, not the power of money.
In addition to lobbying the legislature and members of Congress on democracy reforms, Alice has served on several initiative steering committees. These included initiatives which made Washington the 17th state calling for a US Constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and other Supreme Court decisions that unleashed the influence of money and corporations on elections and government policy and also the initiatives which created the City of Seattle’s voucher program to publicly fund campaigns.
As the former co-director of Faith Action Network (FAN), and executive director of the Washington Association of Churches and the Church Council of Greater Seattle, she brings a long history of leadership and organizing in the peace and justice, faith and political communities.
