Our Mission

Lunch and Learns are a monthly event hosted in our beautiful building in White Center (SKC) on community-identified issues – such as diversifying the teacher workforce, implementing restorative justice, and understanding the intersection of mental health and racism. The outcomes and goals of Lunch and Learns are to increase the understanding of, and power in the educational system for parents, families, and communities of color; also to develop equity-based solutions to community-identified issues, and to strengthened the movement to end racism in the public educational system.

Partners in Change (the Partnership) is a coalition of POC-led, POC-serving, community-based organizations and community leaders across King County and Washington State. We work to build racial and social justice in the County and State’s response to the COVID-19 crisis as well as long-term equity infrastructure, bubbling up the voices and needs of our communities to decision-makers. The Partnership reaches small and micro-organizations serving undocumented, migrant, farmworkers, incarcerated, detained, houseless, disabled, refugee, immigrant, multilingual, LGBTQIA+, Native, and low-income communities of color.

The Equity in Education Coalition presents our Decolonizing Education Conference a multi-day gathering – to advance the education community’s understanding of and practices around anti-racism and equity. 

Bringing together educators, parents, students, school board members, legislators, education advocates, and community-based organizations, this conference will thoroughly examine the intersection of racism in education and intentionally center the voices, experiences, and expertise of people of color – Native/Indigenous, Black, and Immigrant/Refugee.
