Subject: Support for a Commission on Boys and Men 

Hello Chairs Mena and Valdez and members of the State Government committees, 
I am very excited about the potential for Washington to become the first in the nation to establish a Commission on Boys and Men. I am writing to ask that you please help make this happen. 

I know that the idea of a government commission focused on helping boys and men sounds strange at first. When you look at the statistics, and you hear the real stories of struggle, though, it becomes clear that a commission on boys and men is indeed warranted and needed. Its work and recommendations will help amplify ongoing efforts to improve outcomes around education, homelessness, incarceration, suicides, mental and physical health, drug and alcohol abuse, family cohesion, and other important issues. 

If possible, I strongly recommend checking out the work of Richard Reeved and his American Institute for Boys and Men, along with his book Of Boys and Men. I also want to point out that Democratic governors in multiple states have recently used their State of the State addresses to talk about the importance of supporting boys and men – including governors Wes Moore (Maryland), Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan), and Ned Lamont (Connecticut). 

Thank you for your open heart to care for all Washingtonians, including boys and men, and for looking at what role you can play in bringing about the creation of a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men. 

For more information on the grassroots advocacy campaign to establish a Washington State Commission on Boys and Men visit WABoysandMen.org and WIBM.us.
