Ways to Take Action for Change

Hire a Worker through Casa Latina

Casa Latina is a nonprofit organization that "advances the power and well-being of Latino immigrants through employment, education, and community organizing." In light of the ICE raids impacting the Latinx community, Casa Latina asks us to support them by hiring a worker through their Worker Center. You can either call at 206-956-0779 or submit a work order online.

Both Judy Lee and Ilsa Govan have used the service. Ilsa shares, "I used Casa Latina's database to hire someone to help me with yard work and landscaping. A man showed up fully equipped with his own tools and exceeded my expectations in the quality of work done."

Casa Latina will also be holding a Resilience Gala on October 4th called Rhythms of Resilience. The event "honors the strength, perseverance, and contributions of the Latinx immigrant community in Washington State." Learn more about the event here.

Attend an Event or Volunteer with Common Power

Common Power is a Seattle based organization that focuses on voting justice to create a more inclusive democracy. They do this through volunteer action to help improve voter turnout and educational opportunities for adults, students, and teachers. Action Academy, for example, is specifically for students to learn about and become equipped to engage in civics. Their Truth and Purpose Learning experiences for adults tour the south to learn about the Civil Rights Movement from scholars and foot soldiers who participated during that era.

Our Project Manager Judy Lee attended a learning session by Dr. Terry Anne Scott, director of the education arm of Common Power, about the history of the Voting Right Act on its 60th anniversary at the NW African American Museum and found it incredibly engaging and powerful. The next event by Dr. Scott will be on August 28th on "Till's Whistle: The Seventieth Anniversary of Emmett Till's Murder" which you can buy tickets to here.
