🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨
NO MILLIONAIRE’S TAX WITHOUT REPAIR

Washington lawmakers are advancing ESSB 6346 — but the revenue goes into the general fund with no guaranteed investment in the communities most harmed.

For generations, Black descendants of American chattel slavery and Freedmen have been told to trust the system.

History shows otherwise.

If fairness is the goal, repair must be written into law.
✔️ Anti-displacement
✔️ Black homeownership retention and expansion
✔️ Restoration of historically Black communities
✔️ Capital access for Black-owned businesses
✔️ Investments in “By and For” Institutional infrastructure supporting the well-being of Black descendants of American chattel slavery

Without these commitments, ESSB 6346 just expands state revenue while leaving the most impacted communities to compete for resources.

⚖️ Equity must be enforceable.
đź“ś Repair must be written into law.
📢 TAKE ACTION
đź“ž Contact the Washington State House Legislature
❌ Demand a NO vote on ESSB 6346 unless repair is included

Today we honor “Founders Week” — one of the most powerful acts of Black self-determination: the occupation of the Colman School to establish a world-class African American Heritage Museum & Cultural Center.

On Nov. 23, 1985, the former Colman school building was claimed for reparations, Black cultural restoration, youth safety, and community survival.

It has been noted as “the longest act of civil disobedience in U.S. history.”

To counter this community-led movement, the downtown forces behind gentrification and their Black political operatives hijacked, diverted and minimized the project — dividing the community, replacing the founders comprehensive institutional vision with what has been called the “Urban League Pillage & NAAM Scam”.

40 years later, the consequences are undeniable:
• Jim Crow Apartheid economic conditions
• Devastating W**d & Seed displacement
• Intracommunity gun violence epidemic
• Erasure of legacy and belonging

The vision was betrayed — but the movement did not die.

The initiative has kept the flame alive, continuing the fight for cultural restoration, land, and self-determination.

As we intensify our fight for reparations we must understand:
• how our movements have been undermined
• how progress is disrupted
• and how familiar tactics resurface whenever community assets and resources are at stake

We cannot afford to fall victim to these tactics again.

In the months ahead, we will be amplifying critical lessons from the struggle for the African American Heritage Museum & Cultural Center — exposing the forces, dynamics, characters, decisions, and narratives that shaped the current conditions of Black Seattle.

This history must be understood in the context of today’s fight for reparations, the fight to save our youth, and the fight to secure a future for Black community life in Seattle.

To understand the devastation is to understand the path to restoration.

It’s time to reclaim what was taken, justice delayed is justice denied!

and Demand Justice for the AAHM&CC.
